express-jwt-jwks

Simple JWT auth using JWKS key sets for Express. Wraps express-jwt and jwks-rsa. AWS Cognito compatible.

Install

$ npm install express-jwt-jwks

Usage

The JWT authentication middleware authenticates callers using a JWT. If the token is valid, req.user will be set with the JSON object decoded to be used by later middleware for authorization and access control.

// Obtain JWT auth middleware, using a remote JWKS key set
var SECURE = require('express-jwt-jwks')({
    jwks : "https://.../.wellknown/jwks.json"
});


// Add middleware to a route to protect it
app.get("/protected", SECURE, (req, res, next) => {
    res.status(200).send("Success!")
})
