How to access to cookies and sessions from nuxt side about nuxt-laravel

[GautierDele]

What's wrong with cookies ? I can confirm having a "PHP_SESS_ID" cookie that should do the job. Other cookies should be accessible from front side.

I don't really know what was meant by @mentAl-maZe when he was saying that you can share the session state. You might be able to access the session while requesting laravel since your cookies have the "PHP_SESS_ID" available.

Be aware that this is not working if you are working with a PWA.

Hi @GautierDele thanks for your answer.

I've been trying to get it working without success...

I try to login with the laravel default auth and then get user status (if the user is logged in or not) but I always get false.

The short version: it seems axios is not sending back the cookies to the back.

The long version:

This is part of my code in the front:

User login:

this.$axios
      .$post('/login', { email: '[email protected]', password: '123456' })
      .then(console.log)

Check user status:

this.$axios.$post('/loggedin', {}).then(console.log)

nuxt.config.js -> Axios module configuration

...
  axios: {
    baseURL: "http://localhost:3000", // .custom-domain.test,
    credentials: true
  },

---

In the backend:

My routes file (web.php) I use the web guard:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::namespace('Api') // <--- Just for better controllers structure /app/Http/Controllers/Api
    ->group(function () {
        Route::post('/signup', 'Auth\RegisterController@register');
        Route::post('/login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
        Route::post('/loggedin', 'Auth\LoginController@isLoggedIn');
    });

Route::get('/app{path}', '\\' . Pallares\LaravelNuxt\Controllers\NuxtController::class)->name('nuxt')->where('path', '.*');

In my LoginController the only difference with original one is the type of response, I return a json instead of redirect...

...
    protected function sendLoginResponse(Request $request)
    {
        $request->session()->regenerate();

        $this->clearLoginAttempts($request);

        return $this->authenticated($request, $this->guard()->user());
    }

    protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
    {
        return response()->json($user);
    }
...

In the session.php file I have tried with different settings like:

...
'domain' => '.localhost',  //.custom-domain.test,
'http_only' => false | true,
'same_site' => 'lax',
...
etc...

Can you help me with some advices of how you got it work?

Thanks in advance.

Hi again, after trying several settings, I got it working with... in the session.php file the "domain" option set to ".my-custom-domain.test" nothing else. I couldn't get it to work only with localhost.

Sry for the long silence, i've been crazy busy and didn't find any time for foss stuff...

@GautierDele Thanks for pitching in 👍

I'm happy your problem is resolved, but could you maybe provide a repo to reproduce your original issue, so i can investigate (once i have time...)
