I’m a beginner programmer working with Vue and Laravel. I’m trying to figure out how to change my frontend route to a different one after successfully logging in through the backend. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
async function handleLogin() {
try {
const result = await axios.post('api/auth/login', {
email: userEmail,
password: userPassword
});
localStorage.setItem('authToken', result.data.token);
// What should I do here to change the frontend route?
} catch (err) {
displayError = true;
setTimeout(() => { displayError = false; }, 3000);
}
}
I’m not sure what to add after storing the token to make the frontend navigate to a new route. Any help would be great!
To redirect after a successful login, you can utilize Vue Router’s programmatic navigation. After storing the token, add this.$router.push('/desired-route') to navigate to the intended page. Ensure your router is properly configured with the necessary routes. Additionally, consider implementing a Vuex store to manage authentication state across your application. This approach allows for better state management and easier access to user authentication status throughout your components.
yo liam27, i had da same issue! try usin this.$router.push(‘/new-route’) after savin ur token. it’ll kick u to whateva page u want. make sure u got vue-router set up rite tho. good luck with ur project dude!
