Installation

Install ShieldBearer via npm:

npm install shieldbearer

Usage

• Require ShieldBearer in your JavaScript file and start harnessing the power of secure JWT operations:

const shieldbearer = require('shieldbearer');

// Sign a JWT
const token = shieldbearer.sign({ userId: 123 });

// Decode a JWT
const decodedData = shieldbearer.decode(token);

// Validate a JWT
const isValid = shieldbearer.validate(token);

Example

• Here's a basic example of signing, decoding, and validating a JWT using ShieldBearer.

const shieldbearer = require("shieldbearer");

// Sign a JWT
const token = shieldbearer.sign({ userId: 123 });

// Decode the JWT
const decodedData = shieldbearer.decode(token);
console.log(decodedData); // Output: { userId: 123 }

// Validate the JWT
const isValid = shieldbearer.validate(token);
console.log(isValid); // Output: true

Improved Security

• You are also able to improve token security by using a secret key to perform operations.

- The secret key works like an ssh encryption, you most have the same secret in both points to ensure success.

const shieldbearer = require("shieldbearer");

// Sign a JWT
const token = shieldbearer.sign({ userId: 123 }, "secretKey");

// Decode the JWT
const decodedData = shieldbearer.decode(token, "secretKey");
console.log(decodedData); // Output: { userId: 123 }

// Validate the JWT
const isValid = shieldbearer.validate(token, "secretKey");
console.log(isValid); // Output: true
