Local auth (JWT)

When feathers.auth = true in embedded mode, the module can use classic Feathers auth:

• local strategy
• authentication endpoint
• JWT on the client side

Example: new Nuxt 4 app + local auth

bunx nuxi@latest init my-nfz-auth
cd my-nfz-auth
bun install
bun add nuxt-feathers-zod feathers-pinia feathers-swagger swagger-ui-dist
bun add -D @pinia/nuxt
bunx nuxt-feathers-zod init embedded --force --auth --swagger
bunx nuxt-feathers-zod add service users --auth --adapter mongodb --collection users --idField _id --docs
bun dev

Create a user

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/feathers/users \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"userId":"demo","password":"demo123"}'

Login

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/feathers/authentication \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"strategy":"local","userId":"demo","password":"demo123"}'

Call a protected service

curl http://localhost:3000/feathers/users \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"

Stabilization notes

• users remains the reference service for embedded auth
• generate users through the CLI
• avoid enabling auth without a detectable users service
