Modx User Login From Vue.js App

[halftrainedharry]

The Login extra uses the MODX processor security/login to log in a user.

I guess if you have the [[!Login]] snippet on a page, you could make an AJAX request to this page (with the parameters for “user” and “password”) and the user should get logged in.

A cleaner solution is probably to create a REST endpoint for the login and call the security/login processor yourself:

Here is a simple code I use on a rest endpoint to login from a Vue page: public function post() { $properties = $this->getProperties(); $properties = array( 'login_context' => 'web', 'username' => $properties['username'], 'password' => $properties['password'], 'returnUrl' => "/", 'rememberme' => 0, ); $rawResponse = $this->modx->runProcessor('security/login', $properties); $response = $rawResponse->getResponse(); if (!$raw…

But it doesn’t seem that you created a rest API on your site.
How do you handle AJAX requests to your site? With normal MODX resources that return JSON?
