nuxt-betterauth-admin

Proxy-based cookie authentication forwards session credentials between a Nuxt frontend and Elysia API backend. By configuring Nuxt routeRules to proxy /api/** requests, cookies are securely transmitted to the Elysia server, maintaining authenticated sessions across separate services without exposing tokens to client-side JavaScript.

Role-based access control is enforced using server-side guards within the Nuxt application. The BetterAuth admin plugin exposes specific endpoints that restrict UI access and API operations, ensuring only authorized administrators can interact with protected admin management routes.

Yes, BetterAuth supports user management across separate Nuxt and Elysia services. The setup requires installing the BetterAuth admin plugin on the Elysia API to expose user management endpoints, which the Nuxt 4 frontend accesses via configured proxy routeRules.

The best way to scaffold a secure admin backend involves initializing a Nuxt 4 app, installing BetterAuth, and configuring proxy routeRules to an Elysia API. This approach provides role-based access control and user management endpoints for secure administration.

Yes, the BetterAuth admin plugin is required to expose admin endpoints for your Nuxt application. It enables role-based access control and user management features by providing the necessary API routes on the Elysia backend service.

The Nuxt routeRules proxy must forward /api/** to the Elysia API to facilitate proxy-based cookie authentication. This forwarding ensures session cookies are securely transmitted directly between servers, maintaining authentication state without cross-origin issues.
