Where to mount handler ? (Nuxt3 + ExpressJS backend)
Stumbled upon this and looks like its something i want to use. Getting a bit lost on the handler mounting though, as im using Nuxt3 with an ExpressJS backend (for managing content on my site, which gets managed by the users who register). Any insight on this ?

Proper way of handling image uploads
What would be a good way of uploading images directly to the /public/images folder ? I currently have set up a cropper component that allows me to crop an image before saving it, and after saving it, it returns a base64 encoded image. Im kind of lost on how to save it to the public folder part though

Authentication in Nuxt 3 using an Express.JS API
I was wondering what would be the best way of integrating my already existing Express.JS based API into Nuxt 3 and use its features.
I already tried a guide that mentioned 'useCookie()', but from my testing, that doesnt persist across page reloads. Currently experimenting with Pinia, but that doesnt seem to work across reloads as well.
Its a simple user-password based auth API that returns a jwt after logging in and after that every request is validated by sending the token in an auth header and in return receives the ID of the user.

New to web dev, need help with authentication system.
To start off, im not completely sure if this is even the right place, but i want to create an auth system for my website. Im using Nuxt and Vuetify for the front and express.js in the back. Ive already created a registration route for my backend which saves the data in a mysql database, the data is sent to the backend using axios. I also have a really primitive login route, that currently, gets the Name, Surname and password(for verification) from the database
Now, my problem is that i have no idea how to do the login part. I suppose i have to generate somekind of a token that stores the user info, like name, surname and email in it but dont know how to do that + where to store it and how to use the auth module, or store, or both. The same goes for middleware, as i believe, i need to use that if i need to protect a frontend route.
