Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@tanu-chahal/jwt-library

Encode, decode, and validate JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) with ease.

This library provides simple and efficient methods for working with JWTs in both JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

Features

  • Encode (create) JWT tokens
  • Decode JWT tokens
  • Validate JWT tokens

Library Demo

Check out the library's demo application or https://jwt-library.vercel.app/.

Installation

You can install the package via npm:

npm install @tanu-chahal/jwt-library

Or with yarn:

yarn add @tanu-chahal/jwt-library

Usage

First, import the methods you need:

import { encode_jwt, decode_jwt, validate_jwt } from '@tanu-chahal/jwt-library';

Methods

1. encode_jwt

Creates a JWT token.

Arguments:

  • secret (string, required): The secret key used to sign/encode the JWT.
  • id (string | number, required): An identifier (user ID, etc.) to include in the payload.
  • payload (object, required): The payload data you want to encode.
  • ttl (number, optional): Time to live in seconds. If provided, the token will have an expiration time.

Returns: A signed JWT token as a string.

Example:

const secret = 'your-secret-key';
const id = 'user123';
const payload = { role: 'admin', name: 'John Doe' };
const token = encode_jwt(secret, id, payload, 3600);
console.log(token);

2. decode_jwt

Decodes a JWT token, verifies its signature & returns the encoded data and expiration date (if ttl was passed while encoding).

Arguments:

  • secret (string, required): The same secret key used to encode the JWT signature.
  • jwt (string, required): The JWT token to decode.

Returns: An object containing the id, payload, and expires_at (as a Date or null).

Example:

const secret = 'your-secret-key';
const token = 'your-jwt-token';
try {
  const decoded = decode_jwt(secret, token);
  console.log(decoded);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message);
}

3. validate_jwt

Validates a JWT token by decoding it and checking the signature.

Arguments:

  • secret (string, required): The same secret key used to encode the JWT signature.
  • jwt (string, required): The JWT token to validate.

Returns: A boolean indicating whether the JWT is valid.

Example:

const secret = 'your-secret-key';
const token = 'your-jwt-token';
const isValid = validate_jwt(secret, token);
console.log(isValid); // true or false
