bun-jwt

Convenience package for signing and verifying JWTs in Bun, powered by jose, because the regular jsonwebtoken package always errors out in Bun if you set an expiry date.

If you need more advanced functionality than this, you can use jose.

Example

import { sign, verify } from "bun-jwt";

// Create a JWT
const token = await sign(
  { id: "123" }, // Payload: Has to be an object, since it uses the `JWTPayload` type from `jose`.
  "abc", // Key/secret: Has to be a string.
  { expires: "1h" }, // Options object: optional, but lets you set the expiry date.
);
console.log(token); // Will be the JWT as a string.

// Verify/get payload from a JWT
const payload = await verify(
  token, // The JWT: Has to be a string.
  "abc", // The key used to sign the JWT: Again, has to be a string.
);

console.log(payload); // Will either be the payload object (if valid), or `false` (if invalid).
