Setting up a new member registration form with Kuroco and Nuxt.js

This tutorial explains how to set up a new member registration form in a Nuxt.js project using Kuroco.

Before you start

Nuxt.js project build

Before starting this tutorial, you should have a ready-to-use Nuxt.js project. See Tutorial: Creating a content list page with Kuroco and Nuxt.js on how to build one.

API security

Kuroco provides several API security options.

fetched from Gyazo New member registration only works with the [Dynamic access token] or [Cookie] security settings.

info

For more information about these security options, see User guide: API security.

info

For details on how to verify the security types, see Tutorial: How to check the API security using Swagger UI.

We recommend using Google Chrome as your browser, as this tutorial uses Chrome Developer Tools.

Implementing a dummy registration form

Now that you have all the prerequisites, you are ready to start making the new member registration form. First, implement a dummy signup process without API integration.

1. Create the registration form

To create the registration form, make a new file named pages/login/signup/index.vue. Paste the following code into it:

<template>
<div>
<div v-if="!signupDone">
<form @submit.prevent="signup">
<div>
<label>prop1</label>
<input v-model="user.prop1" name="prop1" type="" placeholder="prop1">
</div>
<div>
<label>prop2</label>
<input v-model="user.prop2" name="prop2" type="" placeholder="prop2">
</div>

<div>
<button type="submit">
Sign up
</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div v-if="signupDone">
New member registration is complete.
</div>
</div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
data () {
return {
signupDone: false,

user: {}
}
},
methods: {
signup () {
console.log(JSON.stringify(this.user, null, '\t'))
this.signupDone = true
}
}
}
</script>

<style scoped>
form > div {
margin: 8px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
form > div > * {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-basis: 100px;
}
form > div > *:nth-child(1) {
flex: 0 0 100px;
padding-right: 8px;
}
form > div > *:nth-child(2) {
min-width: 0;
flex: 1 100 auto;
}
</style>

After saving the file, run npm run dev and go to http://localhost:3000/login/signup/. You will see a simple registration form. In the Chrome Developer Tools, open [Console]. Enter the following information and click [Sign Up]:

  • prop1: text1
  • prop2: text2

The prop1 and prop2 values you entered will be displayed in the console log.

fetched from Gyazo The output value of this log will be the actual new member registration requests to the API.

2. Configure the registration process

After creating the registration form, tentatively integrate the API as follows:

  • Add another dummy process that makes a 1-second request.
  • For successful requests, the webpage will display the message: "New member registration is complete."

To do this, modify pages/login/signup/index.vue as shown below.

diff --git pages/login/signup/index.vue pages/login/signup/index.vue

},
methods: {
- signup () {
- console.log(JSON.stringify(this.user, null, '\t'))
- this.signupDone = true
+ async signup () {
+ // Dummy request (success/fail after 1-second delay)
+ const shouldSuccess = true
+ const request = new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
+ setTimeout(
+ () => (shouldSuccess ? resolve() : reject(Error('login failure'))),
+ 1000
+ )
+ )
+
+ try {
+ await request
+ this.signupDone = true
+ } catch (e) {
+ console.error(e)
+ this.error = 'An error has occurred.'
+ }
}
}
}
</script>

<style scoped>
form > div {
margin: 8px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
form > div > * {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-basis: 100px;
}
form > div > *:nth-child(1) {
flex: 0 0 100px;
padding-right: 8px;
}
form > div > *:nth-child(2) {
min-width: 0;
flex: 1 100 auto;
}
</style>

After you sign up in the dummy form with your browser, you will see the message "New member registration is complete." after a 1-second delay.

3. Implement the error handling process

Next, verify what happens when registrations fail. In pages/login/signup/index.vue, change shouldSuccess = true to shouldSuccess = false.

diff --git pages/login/signup/index.vue pages/login/signup/index.vue
- const shouldSuccess = true
+ const shouldSuccess = false

Now you will see the message "An error has occurred." in red when you try to sign up on your browser.

fetched from Gyazo After you have verified the error message, change the text back to shouldSuccess = true.

Creating and verifying new member registration endpoints

4. Create an endpoint

On the Kuroco endpoint list management screen, click [Configure Endpoint].

fetched from Gyazo Set up the endpoint as follows and click [Add] to save it.

fetched from Gyazo

ItemSetting
Path/rcms-api/(topic ID)/member/regist
Enabled/DisabledEnabled
ModelCategoryMember
ModelMember: v1
Operationinsert
AuthorizationNone
Parametersdefault_group_idEnter the ID of the user group that new members will belong to. (See: User guide - Group for more information on user group IDs.)
login_ok_flg1

5. Verify the schema of the endpoint

On the endpoint list screen, click [Swagger UI].

fetched from Gyazo On the Swagger UI screen, click the endpoint you just created.

fetched from Gyazo Under "Request body", select [Schema] to display the schema of the data that can be passed to this endpoint.

fetched from Gyazo When making a POST request for new member registration data from the front-end, apply the items to be configured to the request body according to the above schema.

Implementing the new member registration form

Now, you are ready to make the actual signup form. For this tutorial, use the following example items as the target data:

  • Family name: name1
  • Given name: name2
  • E-mail address: e-mail
  • Login password: login_pwd

6. Modify pages/login/signup/index.vue

Once again, modify pages/login/signup/index.vue as follows:

diff --git a/pages/login/signup/index.vue b/pages/login/signup/index.vue
index c9aca24..f2bee20 100644

7. Implement the API request/handling

From here on, the content to be handled will differ depending on the API security settings. Verify which of the following settings you are using and proceed accordingly:

A. Cookies

If you are using cookies, modify the new member registration form as shown below:

diff --git a/pages/login/signup/index.vue b/pages/login/signup/index.vue
index f2bee20..da12179 100644

B. Dynamic access token

To access secure endpoints with a dynamic access token, the token value must be sent in the request header. This is also true in this case (request sent by AnonymousUser). Therefore, in the endpoint requests for new member registrations, the previously obtained AnonymousToken must be included in the custom header.

In order to do so, modify the registration form as follows:

diff --git a/pages/login/signup/index.vue b/pages/login/signup/index.vue

fetched from Gyazo This concludes the tutorial on setting up a new member registration screen for your Nuxt.js project using Kuroco.

For clarity, we introduced the setup for a very simple sign-up form. In actual use, you may need to include more complex components such as form validation and e-mail authentication processes. Nevertheless, we hope the above tutorial can serve as an introduction to the basic user registration flow.
