Overview

The vue-auth-href is a powerful VueJS directive designed for efficiently handling file downloads from protected routes that require an Authorization Header.

Whether you're a seasoned Vue developer or a newcomer to the framework, this plugin can provide a significant boost to your project’s file management capabilities.
