vue.jsHow do I use Keycloak with Vue.js?

Using Keycloak with Vue.js is a simple process that can be broken down into three steps:

1. Installing Keycloak Adapter: First, install the Keycloak adapter for Vue.js using npm. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal:

npm install keycloak-js

2. Initializing Keycloak: Next, initialize Keycloak with the configuration settings. This can be done in the main.js file of the Vue.js application. An example of how to do this is given below:

// main.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import Keycloak from 'keycloak-js'

let initOptions = {
  url: 'http://localhost:8080/auth',
  realm: 'master',
  clientId: 'vue-app'
}

let keycloak = Keycloak(initOptions);

keycloak.init({ onLoad: 'login-required' }).success(authenticated => {
  new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    render: h => h(App)
  })
})

3. Using Keycloak: Finally, use Keycloak to authenticate users in the Vue.js application. This can be done by using the Keycloak API to access the user's information. An example of how to do this is given below:

// App.vue
export default {
  name: 'app',
  data() {
    return {
      userInfo: {}
    }
  },
  created() {
    this.userInfo = keycloak.tokenParsed
  }
}

This will allow the application to access the user's information and use it for authentication.
