Is there a way to make authenticated requests out of the box?

[PaulCombal]

Describe the feature

I successfully managed to log in with Nuxt Auth!

Now I want to query my API from the client with a REST request using the Authentication: Bearer token header.

I know Nuxt-Auth does this under the hood to get the context, right after logging in.

Does Nuxt Auth also provide a way to make our own authenticated requests? In the docs we have this example:

<script setup lang="ts">
const headers = useRequestHeaders(['cookie']) as HeadersInit
const { data: token } = await useFetch('/api/token', { headers })
</script>

Is this all? Is there a composable, or is this out of this library's scope? Is this the recommended way to make authenticated requests within the whole application?

Thank you

The docs say you have to pass the cookie explicitly for SSR, but it works without. I think Nuxt changed the default.

In the api, you can get the session or token with the composables, and you have enough to know who is making the call.
Unless your API is not in the nuxt application.
