Discussion on: To the Stars with Quasar & Firebase - User Profile

Set up your axios boot file with an intercepter.

import axios from "axios"
import firebaseService from "../services/firebase"

const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: "http://localhost:5000/api/v1"
})

export default ({ store, Vue }) => {
  api.interceptors.request.use(async req => {
    const token = await firebaseService.auth().currentUser.getIdToken()
    req.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`
    return req
  })

  Vue.prototype.$api = api
  store.$api = axios
}

Hi Adam,
I appreciate the quick reply. I included that interceptor in my axios boot file. So the token can then be passed into index.js and then I can verify the user, but I am not understanding how to get the current user's uid into my node file...

Sorry for my ignorance, still learning!

[Adam Purdy]

No problem!

Pass it from the client app via the API call by retrieving it from the currentUser that is loaded in your page from your Vuex getter.

You can extract out the uid from that currentUser object and then when you make your API call to your node server include it in your payload.

If this still doesn't make sense it's best if you reach out to me on Discord (Adam P(EN/US)) as you might need clarification on working with the data flow.
