# Pathing logic in NuxtAuth

This page is here to clarify how the pathing logic works in `@sidebase/nuxt-auth`.
You can find a full overview of how URLs are handled [in the issue comment](https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth/pull/913#issuecomment-2359137989) and in spec files for [`authjs` provider](https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth/blob/main/tests/authjs.url.spec.ts) and [`local` provider](https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth/blob/main/tests/local.url.spec.ts).

## `baseURL` is a prefix

It will be prepended to a path before making a call. For example,

```ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
auth: {
baseURL: 'https://example.com/api/auth',

provider: {
type: 'local',
endpoints: {
// The call would be made to `https://example.com/api/auth/login`
signIn: { path: '/login', method: 'post' },
}
}
}
})
```

## Use URL provided in `endpoints` if it is fully specified

If you provide a full URL to `endpoints`, it will be used when making calls to an endpoint:

```ts {9}
export default defineNuxtConfig({
auth: {
baseURL: 'https://your.website/api',

provider: {
type: 'local',
endpoints: {
// This will call `https://example.com/user`
getSession: { path: 'https://example.com/user' },

// This will call `https://your.website/api/login`
signIn: { path: '/login', method: 'post' },
},
}
}
})
```

## `runtimeConfig`

Value of `baseURL` is always located at `runtimeConfig.public.auth.baseURL`. You cannot change it directly as of the moment of writing, but you can read the value in your application:

```ts
const runtimeConfig = useRuntimeConfig()
const baseURL = runtimeConfig.public.auth.baseURL
```

This value is generally the [source of truth](https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth/blob/b5af548c1fc390ae00496e19ad7a91d308af9b12/src/runtime/utils/url.ts#L37-L38). It is being [set in the plugin](https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth/blob/b5af548c1fc390ae00496e19ad7a91d308af9b12/src/runtime/plugin.ts#L20-L24) to also be available on the client.

## Changing `baseURL`

Read next to understand how it can be changed.

### 1. Environment variables

You have multiple ways of changing the `baseURL` via env variables:
- use `NUXT_PUBLIC_AUTH_BASE_URL`;
- use `AUTH_ORIGIN` if `originEnvKey` is not set;
- use the environment variable name set in [`originEnvKey`](/guide/application-side/configuration#originenvkey)

Environment variables should work in both build-time and runtime.

### 2. `baseURL`

If you didn't set an environment variable, NuxtAuth will look for [`auth.baseURL`](/guide/application-side/configuration#baseurl) inside the `nuxt.config.ts`.

Note that this variable is always **static**, will only be set during runtime and can still be overriden in runtime using env variables.

Not setting `baseURL` will default to `/api/auth`.

### 3. `authjs` only: determine origin automatically from the incoming `HTTP` request

When the server is running in **development mode**, NuxtAuth can automatically infer `baseURL` from the incoming request.

---

We recommend the following setup to configure your `AUTH_ORIGIN` or `baseURL`:

::: code-group

```ts diff [nuxt.config.ts]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
// ... other configuration
auth: {
baseUrl: 'https://my-backend.com/api/auth', // [!code --]
// This is technically not needed as it is the default, but it's here for illustrative purposes
originEnvKey: 'AUTH_ORIGIN', // [!code ++]
}
})
```

```env diff [.env]
AUTH_ORIGIN="https://my-backend.com/api/auth" // [!code ++]
```

You can read additional information on `origin` and `baseURL` determining [here](/resources/error-reference#auth-no-origin).

### `authjs` Provider

`baseURL` can be `undefined` during development but _must_ be set to the combination of origin + path that points to your `NuxtAuthHandler` for production. The origin consists out of:
- **scheme**: http / https
- **host**: e.g., localhost, example.org, google.com
- **port**: _empty_ (implies `:80` for http and `:443` for https), :3000, :8888
- **path**: the path that directs to the location of your `NuxtAuthHandler` e.g. `/api/auth`

### `local` Provider

Defaults to `/api/auth` for both development and production. Setting this is optional, if you set it you can set it to either:
- just a path: Will lead to `nuxt-auth` using `baseURL` as a relative path appended to the origin you deploy to. Example: `/backend/auth`
- an origin and a path: Will lead to `nuxt-auth` using `baseURL` as an absolute request path to perform requests to. Example: `https://example.com/auth`

:::warning
If you point to a different origin than the one you deploy to you likely have to take care of CORS: Allowing cross origin requests.
::: tip
If you would like to overwrite the `baseURL` at the runtime you can use the [`originEnvKey`](#originenvkey).

This guide is for setting up `@sidebase/nuxt-auth` with the Local Provider, which is best suited for when you already have a backend that accepts username + password as a login or want to build a static application. The Local Provider also supports refresh tokens since `v0.9.0`.

:::warning Breaking change
In `v0.9.0` the `refresh` provider was integrated into the `local` provider. Read the [upgrade guide](/upgrade/version-0.9.0).

### Using an external backend

When using the `local` provider to access an external backend, please consider that the module will attempt to resolve the API endpoints by using internal Nuxt 3 relative URLs or an external call.
You can also set your endpoints to query an external backend:

To ensure that the module can properly identify that your endpoints point to an external URL, please ensure the following:

1. `auth.baseURL` **includes** a trailing `/` at the end
2. `auth.endpoints` **do not** include a leading `/` at the start

```ts{7}
```ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
auth: {
baseURL: 'https://external-api.com', // [!code --]
baseURL: 'https://external-api.com/', // [!code ++]
provider: {
type: 'local',
endpoints: {
signIn: { path: '/login', method: 'post' }, // [!code --]
signIn: { path: 'login', method: 'post' }, // [!code ++]
getSession: { path: '/session', method: 'get' }, // [!code --]
getSession: { path: 'session', method: 'get' }, // [!code ++]
}
}
// ...Previous configuration
runtimeConfig: {
baseURL: 'https://example.com/api'
},
auth: {
originEnvKey: 'NUXT_BASE_URL',
provider: {
type: 'local',
endpoints: {
signIn: { path: '/auth/login', method: 'post' },
signOut: { path: '/auth/logout', method: 'post' },
signUp: { path: '/auth/register', method: 'post' },
getSession: { path: '/user/session', method: 'get' },
}
}
}
})
```

You can read more about the path resolving logic in `@sidebase/nuxt-auth` [here](https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth/issues/782#issuecomment-2223861422).

## Token

The `local` and `refresh` providers are both based on exchanging access tokens with your backend. NuxtAuth expects an access token to be provided by the `signIn` endpoint, which will then be saved into the session to authenticate further requests to e.g. `getSession`.
