How to use the useAuth() composable
The following example demonstrates how to use the useAuth() composable to access the current auth state, like whether the user is signed in or not. It also includes a basic example for using the getToken() method to retrieve a session token for fetching data from an external resource.
<script setup>
const { getToken, isLoaded, isSignedIn, sessionId, userId } = useAuth()
const fetchProtectedData = async () => {
// Use `getToken()` to get the current user's session token
const token = await getToken.value()
// Use the token to fetch data from an external API
const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
},
})
return response.json()
}
</script>
<template>
<!-- Use `isLoaded` to check if Clerk is loaded -->
<div v-if="!isLoaded">Loading...</div>
<!-- Use `isSignedIn` to check if the user is signed in -->
<div v-else-if="!isSignedIn">Sign in to view this page</div>
<!-- Use `userId` to access the current user's ID and `sessionId` to access the current session ID -->
<div v-else>Hello, {{ userId }}! Your current active session is {{ sessionId }}.</div>
