Building JSON API w/ Authentication as a backend for a mobile app?
As for the original question, OP you should check out https://github.com/ueberauth/guardian if you want to roll your own auth. If not rolling you own you can just use a standard Oauth provider and validate their tokens (surprise they are JWTs) in you backend using their public keys.

AuthN: For authentication, I'd look at the built-in auth generator. If you need to add JWT things, joken and/or guardian can probably meet your needs.

Questions about Nuxt auth & refresh tokens
I have a Nuxt.js app with Nuxt Auth module for authentication. My backend is in Phoenix with Pow used to handle authentication. When I log in I get 2 tokens from my backend: access token and a refresh token. I can't find any relevant documentation on how to make use of the refresh tokens with Nuxt Auth, so any advice would be highly appreciated.
