JS JWT Wrapper

Creates basic JWT tokens based on a shared secret. Simple wrapper around jsrsasign.

Installation

$ npm install --save apolitical-jwt-wrapper

Usage

There are three exposed functions, each one takes the shared secret and returns another function.

jwtCreator

Creates a new jwt.

const { jwtCreator } = require('apolitical-jwt-wrapper');

const createJwt = jwtCreator('secret');
const jwt = createJwt({ my: 'payload' });

console.log(jwt);

eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJteSI6InBheWxvYWQifQ.78bnGeLf_4A3mXZhStnMo6warvE1M5QTHRJClTpnS4s

jwtValidator

const { jwtValidator } = require('apolitical-jwt-wrapper');

const isValid = jwtValidator('secret');

const jwt = 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJteSI6InBheWxvYWQifQ.78bnGeLf_4A3mXZhStnMo6warvE1M5QTHRJClTpnS4s';
console.log(isValid(jwt));

true

jwtPayloadExtractor

const { jwtPayloadExtractor } = require('apolitical-jwt-wrapper');

const getPayload = jwtPayloadExtractor('secret');

const jwt = 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJteSI6InBheWxvYWQifQ.78bnGeLf_4A3mXZhStnMo6warvE1M5QTHRJClTpnS4s';
