Very early WIP. Use at own risk!

A collection of prefabricated Vue plugins and mixins that simplify setting up things related to user accounts and authentication.

Demo

Coming soon..

Getting started

Install the dependencies:

npm install @vue-accounts/core

Add the store plugin to use the components with your Vuex account store

import Vuex from 'vuex';
import { AccountStorePlugin } from '@vue-accounts/core';

Vue.use(Vuex);

const store = new Vue.Store({});

Vue.use(AccountStorePlugin, { store }); // Init the plugin with the Vuex store

Add one of the example forms to your app like below

<template>
  <login-form />
</template>

<script>
  import { LoginForm } from '@vue-accounts/core';

  export default {
    components: {
      LoginForm,
    },
  };
</script>

You now have a working login form, but... It does not actually log someone in. Pressing submit will end up in an error stating that there was no store action named login. This is the nice part. You either use one of the existing plugins, or you build your own!

Account Stores

Account stores connect the AccountStorePlugin to an actual store that is tailored for a specific auth backend.

Dop-in Account Stores:

• Vue Accounts Meteor - (Coming soon) Drop in integration with Meteor's account system. Install and enjoy!
• Vue Accounts Password - (Coming soon)

Creating a custom Account Store

You can add your own account store just like any other store:

./store.js

import account from './stores/account';

export default new Vuex.Store({
  modules: {
    account,
  }
});

./stores/account.js

export default {
  actions: {
    async login(context, { email, password }) {},
    async logout(context) {},
    async register(context, { displayName, email, password, repeatPassword }) {},
    async forgotPassword(context, { email }) {},
    async resetPassword(context, { token, password, repeatPassword }) {},
    async verifyEmail(context, { token }) {},
  },
},

Simply implement the backend methods in your store, but be sure to return a promise. This makes the component mixins able to provide a loading state to each auth component when needed.

Namespacing the Account Store module

You can have a namespaced store module. In that case set the namespace option on the AuthStorePlugin to make it aware:

Vue.use(AccountStorePlugin, { namespace: 'account' });

Components

This package comes with example components to get you set-up quickly. These components are just meant for prototyping. Its recommended to either build your own or to use a vue-accounts component package.

Drop-in component packages:

• @vue-accounts/bootstrap: Drop-in Bootstrap account components
• @vue-accounts/vuetify: Drop-in Vuetify account components

Creating custom components

Creating your own form is very easy. Simply add the right mixin and build the template like the below example:

<template>
  <form @submit.prevent="submit">
    <p><strong>Status:</strong> {{status}}</p>

    <input type="text" name="email" v-model="email" placeholder="Email" />
    <input type="password" name="password" v-model="password" placeholder="Password" />

    <p v-if="error"><strong>Error:</strong> {{error}}</p>

    <input type="submit" value="Login" />
  </form>
</template>

<script>
  import { LoginFormMixin } from '@vue-accounts/core';

  export default {
    mixins: [LoginFormMixin],
  };
</script>

The @submit event will trigger the mixin to call the right method.

Mixins

BaseFormMixin

Forms the base functionality for all the accounts forms. It calls the associated methods and tracks the status of this progress (idle, submitting, success, error). It gives the following states:

Prop	Type	Description	Possible values	Default value
status	String	A string representing the submit / loading status	'idle', 'submitting', 'success', 'error'	'idle'
error	String	A string containing any error given when the method call fails		''
payload	Object	An object containing the payload that is going to be send or was send by the form		{}

TODO Finish Documentation for the FormMixins
