Quasar + Feathers-Vuex: how to integrate? - feathersjs

Question

I want to integrate Quasar with FeathersJS using Feathers-Vuex
Feathers-Vuex uses a pattern to:
promise to authenticate from localStorage/cookies
.then( /*start the new Vue() app */ )
I created my app with Quasar CLI 1.0.beta16-ish and looked through /src and couldn't find the main entry point for Quasar. I feel like I'm missing something.
What includes src/store/index.js?
quasar.conf.js includes this comment - where is the main.js
// app boot file (/src/boot)
// --> boot files are part of "main.js"
boot: ["axios"],
Feathers-Vuex includes a Nuxt integration guide that may solve the same problem. These packages are all new to me, and I'm excited to learn them!
Thank you!

Answer 1

The part of main.js is included in quasar app.js that you can find in .quasar folder. The src/store/index.js contains the Vuex Store definition. A "store" is basically a container that holds your application state.

Answer 2

I ended up with two things:
Adding Feathers-Vuex to my backend.
Adding this "boot file" in my Quasar project
The comments are a bread-crumb trail if I ever have to figure it out again :-)
/*
Context:
For 3rd-party API's, we us /src/boot/axios.js
For our own API's, we use FeathersClient (socket.io & REST)
https://docs.feathersjs.com/guides/basics/clients.html
https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/authentication/client.html#appconfigureauthoptions
Our FeathersClient is in `/src/lib/feathersClient.js`
and imported into `/src/store/index.js`
which is imported by Quasar's build system. /src/quasar.conf.js setting(?)
Feathers-vuex integrates Vuex with FeathersClient:
https://feathers-vuex.feathers-plus.com/auth-module.html
Feathers-Vuex proxies it's authentication/logout actions to FeathersClient
https://github.com/feathers-plus/feathers-vuex/blob/master/src/auth-module/actions.js
The parameters for these actions are here:
https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/authentication/client.html#appauthenticateoptions
In addition to this module, you can use FeathersVuex state in UI from here:
https://feathers-vuex.feathers-plus.com/auth-module.html
This module:
Create a Feathers Auth integration for Vue as a Quasar Boot Module.
// Use case: test if user is authenticated
if (Vue.$auth.currentUser()) { ... }
// Use case: get current user's email
name = Vue.$auth.currentUser("email") || "anonymous"
// Use case: Login
Vue.$auth.login({
strategy: 'local',
email: 'my#email.com',
password: 'my-password'
});
// Use case: Logout
// logs out and sends message
let p = Vue.$auth.logout();
// After logout, go home
p.then(() => {
// User data still in browser
router.push({ name: "home"});
// To clear user data, do a hard refresh/redirect - https://feathers-vuex.feathers-plus.com/common-patterns.html#clearing-data-upon-user-logout
location && location.reload(true)
});
*/
export default ({ app, router, store, Vue }) => {
// Create the API demonstrated above
const auth = {
currentUser(prop) {
let u = store.state.auth.user || false;
if (u && prop) return u[prop];
return u;
},
login(authData, quiet) {
return store
.dispatch("auth/authenticate", authData)
.then(() => {
Vue.prototype.$q.notify({
message: "Welcome back!",
type: "info"
});
})
.catch(err => {
if (!quiet) {
console.log(err);
Vue.prototype.$q.notify({
message: "There was a problem logging you in.",
type: "error"
});
}
});
},
logout(quiet) {
return store.dispatch("auth/logout").then(() => {
if (!quiet)
Vue.prototype.$q.notify({
message: "You've been logged out.",
type: "info"
});
});
},
register(authData) {}
};
// Auth from JWT stored in browser before loading the app. true => suppress token not found error
auth.login("jwt", true);
// Add API to Vue
Vue.prototype.$auth = auth;
// If you would like to play with it in the console, uncomment this line:
// console.log(auth);
// Then, in the console:
/*
temp1.login({
strategy: "local",
email: "feathers#example.com",
password: "secret"
})
*/
// If you haven't created this user, see here:
// https://docs.feathersjs.com/guides/chat/authentication.html
// For this REST api endpoint
/*
curl 'http://localhost:3001/users/' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{ "email": "feathers#example.com", "password": "secret" }'
*/
};
