Auto login after creating a new account

[larsvanherwijnen]

Since today, i've been using this nuxt module and absolutely love it!

However, one thing that i can't seem to figure out is how i can auto login after creating a new account.

Lets say, this is my nuxt registration function:

async function handleRegister() {
  console.log("Registering user with form data:", form);
  registerError.value = "";
  if (!validatePasswords()) return;

  loading.value = true;
  try {
    // call register endpoint
    await useSanctumFetch('/api/register', { method: 'POST', body: form })

    toast.add({
      title: "Registration Successful",
      description: "Registration successful!",
    });

    console.log("Registration successful");
  } catch (err: any) {
   .....
  } finally {
   ....  
 }
}

And this the API endpoint.

public function register(CreateUserRequest $request): JsonResponse
{
    $data = $request->validated();

    $user = User::create([
        'name' => $data['email'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
        'role' => $data['role'],
    ]);

    Auth::login($user);

    return response()->json([
        'user' => $user
    ], 201);
}

How can I redirect to the / route on the nuxt app after registering in? ive tried navigateTo("/") but that doesn't seem to work. should i do this using the sanctum:response hook by checking the url and then using navigateTo("/") would this work? or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Hey @larsvanherwijnen ! I'm glad you find it useful.

You can check this repo for more details and examples of usage - breeze-nuxt.

Regarding redirect after registration, I also used just plain navigateTo and didn't experience any issues, feel free to post the error here to see what's going on there. This is what I used in breeze-nuxt - RegisterForm.vue.

Ah i see, i missed the await refreshIdentity() function in the docs! So the navigation was working exactly as expected because there was no authenticated user! Thanks!
