How to pass data to the front using passport-steam?

Question

JavaScript

const { Router } = require('express')
const passport = require('passport')
const router = Router()

router.get('/steam', passport.authenticate('steam', { 
    failureRedirect: '/' 
}))

router.get('/steam/return', passport.authenticate('steam', { 
    failureRedirect: '/' 
}), (req, res) => {

    console.log(req)
})

router.get('/isLogged', (req, res) => {
    res.status(200).json(req.headers)
})

module.exports = router

How it works

Browser goes to localhost:5000/auth/steam
Node redirects browser to Steam openId
Steam on successful login and granting authorization redirects back to localhost:5000/auth/steam/

return data to the front (I use vuex) or how can / should it be implemented at all?

If the token is passed via hash (#), then using JS you can store the token in localStorage and redirect to the desired page. And from it already take a token from localStorage. The lifetime of the token can also be written to localStorage and simply checked against the real time each time.
