@cboxdk/id-nuxt

Nuxt module for Cbox ID. It wires the @cboxdk/id-js OIDC client to your Nuxt app: drop-in sign-in / callback / sign-out routes, a sealed session, and a useCboxUser() composable — add authentication with one module entry.

It also bundles the @cboxdk/id-vue widgets (<CboxUserButton> and friends) as auto-imported, globally-provided components: no import, no <CboxIdProvider> wrapper. The module provides their context app-wide from the session and injects the stylesheet through useHead, so they render correctly during SSR.

Install

Where do issuer, clientId and redirectUri come from? Register an application in your environment console — see Integrate your app.

npm install @cboxdk/id-nuxt

Configure

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@cboxdk/id-nuxt'],
  cboxId: {
    // or set CBOX_ID_ISSUER / CBOX_ID_CLIENT_ID / CBOX_ID_CLIENT_SECRET /
    // CBOX_ID_REDIRECT_URI / CBOX_ID_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI
    issuer: 'https://id.acme.com',
    clientId: process.env.CBOX_ID_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: process.env.CBOX_ID_CLIENT_SECRET,
    redirectUri: 'https://app.acme.com/auth/callback',
    postLogoutRedirectUri: 'https://app.acme.com/',
  },
});

Set a session secret so the session cookie is sealed:

CBOX_ID_SESSION_PASSWORD=at-least-32-characters-of-random

Where sign-out returns people

postLogoutRedirectUri (env: CBOX_ID_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI) is where Cbox ID sends people after GET /auth/sign-out. Set it. Cbox ID matches the value against the Sign-out URIs allow-list on the application in your environment console character for character — scheme, host, port, path, and trailing slash all count, and https://app.acme.com and https://app.acme.com/ are two different entries. A value that is not on the list is dropped and the user lands on a bare "you are signed out" page on the instance.

Leave it unset and the module falls back to the bare request origin, which is almost never the string an admin typed into the console — so the return trip silently stops working. Configure the exact registered string instead.

Setting it also means sign-out no longer has to rely on the id_token_hint, the other way OIDC lets a logout request identify the relying party. To send that hint the module must keep the id_token in the sealed session cookie, and that costs room: a session that is ~1.9 kB without it grows to ~3.5 kB with a typical 800-character id_token, against a 4 kB per-cookie browser limit that h3's useSession does not chunk around. Today's Cbox ID tokens fit, but the headroom is thin — a configured postLogoutRedirectUri is the durable answer.

Use

The module registers these routes for you:

Route	Does
GET /auth/sign-in	starts login (accepts ?redirect=/where/next)
GET /auth/callback	verifies the login and stores the session
GET /auth/sign-out	clears the session and logs out
GET /auth/account	redirects to the hosted profile page (accepts ?return_to=)
GET /api/_cbox/user	the current user as JSON (used internally)

Widgets

Drop the widgets in anywhere — they're auto-imported and already wired to the session, so this is the whole integration:

<template>
  <header>
    <!-- avatar + account menu when signed in, a sign-in button when not -->
    <CboxUserButton />
  </header>
</template>

Also available: <CboxSignInButton>, <CboxSignOutButton>, <CboxUserProfileCard>, <CboxOrganizationBadge>, and <CboxIdProvider> (for a scoped override). Their "Manage account" links point at GET /auth/account; "Sign out" at logoutPath. Theme them with the appearance option (below). Set components: false to opt out and wire @cboxdk/id-vue yourself.

Composable

Or read the user reactively and build your own UI:

<script setup lang="ts">
const user = useCboxUser();
</script>

<template>
  <div v-if="user">
    Hi {{ user.name }} — <a href="/auth/sign-out">Sign out</a>
  </div>
  <a v-else href="/auth/sign-in">Sign in</a>
</template>

Protect a route with middleware:

// middleware/auth.ts
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(() => {
  const user = useCboxUser();
  if (!user.value) {
    return navigateTo('/auth/sign-in?redirect=' + encodeURIComponent(useRoute().fullPath));
  }
});

Options

Option	Default	Notes
issuer / clientId / clientSecret / redirectUri	from env	the Cbox ID connection
postLogoutRedirectUri	request origin	where sign-out returns people; must match a Sign-out URI registered on the application character for character (details)
scopes	openid profile email	requested at login
accountPath	/settings	hosted profile page path on the instance
loginPath / callbackPath / logoutPath	/auth/*	override the route paths
profilePath	/auth/account	app route that redirects to the hosted profile
appearance	{}	widget theming (accent, accentForeground, radius, fontFamily)
components	true	auto-register the @cboxdk/id-vue widgets globally

Scope

This module handles login, session and sign-out against a Cbox ID instance. Profile management (password, MFA, passkeys) is hosted by the instance — link users to accountPath there. SSO/SCIM/org administration are platform capabilities of cboxdk/laravel-id, not this module.
