More detailed and structured documentation. Maybe describe all available methods and properties.

Possibly with GitHub pages or as GitHub wiki?

@jnt0r , think more examples and an explanation of the flow in the README would be enough for most users. I'm happy to help you polish it if you write a draft. I just don't have enough understanding of how it all works to do it myself.

Does this look right to you or is there a better way of doing it?

// only authenticated users may access this Vue app
// the auth should apply to the entire site, not just select routes
router.beforeEach(async () => {
  // an early exit if the user has been auth'd earlier
  if (AuthenticationState && AuthenticationState.authenticated) {
    return true;
  }

  // it could that the authentication is still in progress
  // the problem with this call is that it never returns if authenticated
  const isAuthed = await AuthenticationState.getAuthenticatedAsPromise();

  // try to log in if not authenticated up to this point
  if (!isAuthed) {
    // this redirects to Auth0 login form, but sometimes it just logs me in
    // even if I delete all auth0 cookies
    auth.loginWithRedirect();
  }

  // recheck if the user was logged in successfully
  // redirect to a public welcome page on failure
  if (!auth || !auth.authenticated) {
    console.log("failed to auth");
    location.assign("https://stackmuncher.com");
  }

  // all navigation
  return true;
});
