Vue Auth Href

Overview

The vue-auth-href is a powerful VueJS directive designed for efficiently handling file downloads from protected routes that require an Authorization Header. In a world where security is paramount, many projects face the challenge of providing access to files while ensuring that only authorized users can download them. This handy directive simplifies the process by seamlessly integrating with JWT authentication, making it easier for developers to implement secure file downloads without getting tangled in complex authorization flows.

By automatically appending the necessary authorization token to the request header when an anchor tag is clicked, vue-auth-href takes the guesswork out of secure file handling, ensuring a smooth user experience while keeping your application secure. 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.
