Usage

constructor(secret, audience, issuer)

The constructor helps you configure the jwt helper class.

const secret = 'qwerty';
const audience = 'example.com';
const issuer = 'example.com';
const jwtHelper = new JwtHelper(secret, audience, issuer);

The constructor takes the following options:

1. secret (required): this is the secret used to create the .
2. audience (required): this is used to check the audience.
3. issuer (required): this is the isser of the token.

issue(payload, expirytime, subject, cb)

This method helps you to generate the token. It responses with a promise if you don't secify a callback, else returns the result with in callback.

With promise:

const secret = 'qwerty';
const audience = 'example.com';
const issuer = 'example.com';
const expireIn = '7d';
const jwtHelper = new JwtHelper(secret, audience, issuer);
const message = 'Hello';
const result = jwtHelper.issue({ message }, expireIn);
result.then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
}.catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

With callback:

const secret = 'qwerty';
const audience = 'example.com';
const issuer = 'example.com';
const expireIn = '7d';
const jwtHelper = new JwtHelper(secret, audience, issuer);
const message = 'Hello';
jwtHelper.issue({ message }, expireIn,'jwt-auth-token',(err,result) => {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
    console.log(result);
}

1. payload (required): this is the data you want to encrypt.
2. expirytime (required): this is time the token woould expire.
3. subject (optional): this is the subject of the jwt.
4. cb (optional): this is the callback the woulld be called with the response.

Sample response:

{ 
  uuid: '4c71ae9d-755a-4d18-9eef-4a600bfb0c14',
  token: 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJtZXNzYWdlIjoiNmMkNU0iLCJpYXQiOjE1MTYxOTU3NTQsImV4cCI6MTUxNjgwMDU1NCwiYXVkIjoiaHR0cDovL251bi52Yy9zaW13aSIsImlzcyI6Imh0dHA6Ly9udW4udmMvc2ltd2kiLCJzdWIiOiJqd3QtYXV0aC10b2tlbiIsImp0aSI6IjRjNzFhZTlkLTc1NWEtNGQxOC05ZWVmLTRhNjAwYmZiMGMxNCJ9.khIFuxlb4mF8iZnRc_qbXfzjbzd0XNY7CKauSCcKB6U' 
}

verify(token, cb)

This method helps you to validate the token. It responses with a promise if you don't secify a callback, else returns the result with in callback.

With promise:

const secret = 'qwerty';
const audience = 'example.com';
const issuer = 'example.com';
const expireIn = '7d';
const jwtHelper = new JwtHelper(secret, audience, issuer);
const token = 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJtZXNzYWdlIjoiNmMkNU0iLCJpYXQiOjE1MTYxOTU3NTQsImV4cCI6MTUxNjgwMDU1NCwiYXVkIjoiaHR0cDovL251bi52Yy9zaW13aSIsImlzcyI6Imh0dHA6Ly9udW4udmMvc2ltd2kiLCJzdWIiOiJqd3QtYXV0aC10b2tlbiIsImp0aSI6IjRjNzFhZTlkLTc1NWEtNGQxOC05ZWVmLTRhNjAwYmZiMGMxNCJ9.khIFuxlb4mF8iZnRc_qbXfzjbzd0XNY7CKauSCcKB6U';

const result = jwtHelper.verify(token, expireIn);
result.then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
}.catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

With callback:

const secret = 'qwerty';
const audience = 'example.com';
const issuer = 'example.com';
const expireIn = '7d';
const jwtHelper = new JwtHelper(secret, audience, issuer);
const token = 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJtZXNzYWdlIjoiNmMkNU0iLCJpYXQiOjE1MTYxOTU3NTQsImV4cCI6MTUxNjgwMDU1NCwiYXVkIjoiaHR0cDovL251bi52Yy9zaW13aSIsImlzcyI6Imh0dHA6Ly9udW4udmMvc2ltd2kiLCJzdWIiOiJqd3QtYXV0aC10b2tlbiIsImp0aSI6IjRjNzFhZTlkLTc1NWEtNGQxOC05ZWVmLTRhNjAwYmZiMGMxNCJ9.khIFuxlb4mF8iZnRc_qbXfzjbzd0XNY7CKauSCcKB6U';

const result = jwtHelper.verify(token, expireIn,'jwt-auth-token',(err,result) => {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
    console.log(result);
}

1. token (required): this is the data you want to encrypt.
2. cb (optional): this is the callback the woulld be called with the response.
