nomatic-jwt v2.0.2

nomatic-jwt

An opinionated library for encoding, decoding, and verifying JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), heavily inspired by node-jwt-simple.

Installation

You can install from npm by doing:

npm i --save nomatic-jwt

Basic Usage

const JWT = require('nomatic-jwt').JWT;

const jwt = new JWT({
    algorithm: 'HS256', // "HS256" | "HS384" | "HS512" | "RS256" | "RS384" | "RS512"
    expiresIn: 60 * 60, // 1hr
    key: 'somethingMoreSecureThanThis', // Valid only with HMAC-SHA algorithms
    timeOffset: 60, // allowable wiggle room for expiration (`exp`) and not valid before (`nbf`) claims
    validate: true // If false, won't validate when decoding
});

// Encode
const token = jwt.encode({
    sub: 'user/12345678',
    roles: ['manager']
});
