@authon/nuxt

Nuxt 3 authentication module with auto-imported composables and Vue components

Install

npm install @authon/nuxt

Setup

NUXT_PUBLIC_AUTHON_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_...

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@authon/nuxt'],
  runtimeConfig: {
    public: {
      authon: {
        publishableKey: process.env.NUXT_PUBLIC_AUTHON_PUBLISHABLE_KEY,
      },
    },
  },
})

The module installs the runtime plugin and auto-imports useAuthon and useUser. Components are available from @authon/nuxt:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { AuthonSignedIn, AuthonSignedOut, AuthonUserButton } from '@authon/nuxt'

const authon = useAuthon()
const { user } = useUser()
</script>

<template>
  <AuthonSignedOut><button @click="authon.client?.openSignIn()">Sign in</button></AuthonSignedOut>
  <AuthonSignedIn>
    <p>Welcome, {{ user?.displayName }}</p>
    <AuthonUserButton />
  </AuthonSignedIn>
</template>

For explicit imports, use the dedicated entry point:

import { useAuthon, useUser } from '@authon/nuxt/composables'

Configuration

The module also accepts inline options. Keep the publishable key in public runtime config; a server secret, if your own endpoints need one, belongs in private runtime config and is not required by the browser module.

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@authon/nuxt'],
  authon: {
    publishableKey: process.env.NUXT_PUBLIC_AUTHON_PUBLISHABLE_KEY,
    config: { theme: 'auto' },
    globalMiddleware: false,
  },
})

globalMiddleware installs Authon's route middleware globally. Client-side route guards improve navigation UX, but sensitive server/API operations must still verify an access token.

Legacy manual plugin

createAuthonPlugin remains exported for compatibility, but is deprecated for Nuxt applications. Do not create plugins/authon.client.ts in new projects; use modules: ['@authon/nuxt'], auto-imports, and @authon/nuxt/composables instead.
