Nuxt Starter Kit v2

I've learned a lot about Nuxt and best practices. Instead of trying to restructure v1 of my starter kit I decided to start fresh. Based off of the Nuxt Express template.

Build Setup

# install dependencies
$ npm install # Or yarn install

# serve with hot reload at localhost:3000
$ npm run dev

# build for production and launch server
$ npm start

For detailed explanation on how Nuxt works, checkout the Nuxt.js docs.

Backpack

Nuxt uses backpack to watch and build the application, so you can use the latest ES6 features (module syntax, async/await, etc.).

Storybook

Storybook is a development environment for UI components. It allows you to browse a component library, view the different states of each component, and interactively develop and test components.

# build and run Storybook
$ npm run storybook

Stories are written in the components folder. This is not a hard and fast rule. You can change where stories are located by changing the config in .storybook/config.js. Out of the box it's set to look for any files inside of the components directory that has a .story.js extension.

Authentication and Authorization

Using Express and Axios this project allows you to auth users and protect pages. server/api/auth.js shows the endpoints used to log a user in. You can find documentation on what the endpoints expect and return on Postman. It uses store/index.js to manage the state of a user and send login/logout actions. Also check pages/index.vue to see what methods to use to log in and pages/admin/index.vue to see how to protect a page so only authenticated users can see it.
