Support

This library is quite fresh, and maybe has bugs. Write me an email to natashkinsash@gmail.com and I will fix the bug in a few working days.

Quick start

var JwtrStrategy = require('passport-jwtr').Strategy,
    ExtractJwt = require('passport-jwtr').ExtractJwt;
var Redis = require('ioredis');
var opts = {}
opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeader();
opts.secretOrKey = 'secret';
opts.redis = new Redis();
passport.use(new JwtrStrategy(opts, function(jwt_payload, done) {
    User.findOne({id: jwt_payload.sub}, function(err, user) {
        if (err) {
            return done(err, false);
        }
        if (user) {
            done(null, user);
        } else {
            done(null, false, 'User not found');
        }
    });
}));
