  }
};

const app = createApp(App);
app.use(vueAuthSanctum, authConfig);
app.mount('#app');

useSanctumAuth

To authenticate a user you should pass the credentials payload as an argument to the login method. The payload should contain all fields required by your Laravel Sanctum backend.

views/Login.vue

  import {ref} from 'vue';
  import { useSanctumAuth } from 'vue-auth-sanctum';

  const { login } = useSanctumAuth();

  const userCredentials = ref({
      email: '[e-mail]',
      password: '123123',
  });

  await login(userCredentials.value);

useSanctumUser

This composable provides access to the current authenticated user. It supports generic types, so you can get the user as any class you want.

views/Dashboard.vue

  import { useSanctumUser } from 'vue-auth-sanctum';
  
  const user = useSanctumUser();
