How to use session authentication for nuxt frontend with adonis backend

[hkmsadek]

I used to use adonuxt which worked nice but it's depreciated. So I am now trying to use nuxt.js separate with adonis backend. I am trying to make login system. These two projects run on two separate port in localhost. http://localhost:3000/ nuxt project and http://localhost:3333/ adonis project.

How can I get logged in user information in nuxtServerInit?

I am trying like this

console.log('I am running as nuxt server init')

//console.log('session is ', request.session)
try {
// get the initial data
let { data } = await axios.get('http://localhost:3333/myuser')
commit('loginUser', data)


} catch (e) {
  console.log('nuxt server error ', e.response)
}
},

and in my adonis.js I am trying

async getUser({request, response, params, auth}){
  try {
    const user = await auth.getUser()
    return user
  } catch (error) {
      return 'not logged in'
  }

}

The result is always not logged in....

Any idea how to implement.....

You need to use jwt tokens or api tokens if you want to create a login system, on user login you receive a token that you store inside your front end cookies and on nuxtserverinit you fetch that token from cookies and verify it.

I know about jwt token and I can do that simply. But I want to avoid using jwt token and use session. Any idea for session?

UPDATE

I am using a very simple login system

async user({request, response, params, auth}){
   try {
      const user = await auth.loginViaId(34)
      return user
   } catch (error) {
      return error
   }

}

I got a very interesting result now. So if I login using my adonis project then the logged in user information becomes available in nuxt project but I cannot get the logged in user if I login using nuxt axios

UPDATE 2

So, session login works, but adonis cannot find user or loggedin user when axios is used.

UPDATE 3

we can get logged in user only using nuxtServerInit.. We can get the logged in user using axios.. :(
