Migration example

Authenticated and unauthenticated redirection

If you were using the following configuration in 3.x :

// nuxt.config.js
router: {
  middleware: [
    'auth',
    'no-auth'
  ]
}

This is the corresponding configuration in 4.x :

// nuxt.config.js
router: {
  middleware: [
    'auth',
  ]
}

Unauthenticated redirection only

If you were using the following configuration in 3.x :

// nuxt.config.js
router: {
  middleware: [
    'auth',
  ]
}

This is the corresponding configuration in 4.x :

// nuxt.config.js
auth: {
  redirect: {
    user: false
  }
},
router: {
  middleware: [
    'auth',
  ]
}

Authenticated redirection only

If you were using the following configuration in 3.x :

router: {
  middleware: [
    'no-auth',
  ]
}

This is the corresponding configuration in 4.x :

// nuxt.config.js
auth: {
  redirect: {
    guest: false
  }
},
router: {
  middleware: [
    'auth',
  ]
}
