Kinde integration for Nuxt.

Quick Setup

  1. Add @nuxtjs/kinde dependency to your project
npx nuxi@latest module add kinde
  1. Add @nuxtjs/kinde to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxtjs/kinde'],
  kinde: {
    // This is true by default and adds 'auth-logged-in' and 'auth-logged-out'
    // middleware to your Nuxt application.
    // 
    // middleware: false,
    //
    // enable the debug `/api/health` endpoint
    // debug: true,
  }
})

Add the following configuration to your .env file replacing the values in < > with your Kinde credentials.

NOTE: The Nuxt Kinde module requires the back-end web API keys

NUXT_KINDE_AUDIENCE="https://<your_kinde_subdomain>.kinde.com/api" # if you want to use the Management API
NUXT_KINDE_AUTH_DOMAIN="https://<your_kinde_subdomain>.kinde.com"
NUXT_KINDE_CLIENT_ID="<your_kinde_client_id>"
NUXT_KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET="<your_kinde_client_secret>"
NUXT_KINDE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL="http://localhost:3000"
NUXT_KINDE_REDIRECT_URL="http://localhost:3000/api/callback"
NUXT_KINDE_PASSWORD=<a random password which will be used to encrypt the session cookie>
NUXT_KINDE_POST_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL="http://localhost:3000/dashboard"

You can alternatively set any of these values in your nuxt.config file:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  kinde: {
    authDomain: 'https://<your_kinde_subdomain>.kinde.com',
    clientId: '<your_kinde_client_id>',
    // You probably don't want to set any of the following directly in your config
    // as they either shouldn't be committed to version control, or are dependent
    // on your environment.
    // 
    // clientSecret: '<your_kinde_client_secret>',
    // redirectURL: 'http://localhost:3000/api/callback',
    // logoutRedirectURL: 'http://localhost:3000',
    // postLoginRedirectURL: 'http://localhost:3000/dashboard',
  }
})

That's it! You can now use Nuxt Kinde in your Nuxt app ✨
