DC Tokens

---

About

DCTokens are the discord like tokens that can be used for authentiction in your website, api, or anything you want (you can even trick people to think its an actual discord token 😉).

It Uses HMAC with SHA-256 to sign the tokens.

Features

• Sign Custom Tokens (with your own private key) 📝
• Verify Tokens ✅
• Zero-Depencency 💪

Install

Via NPM:

npm install dc-tokens

Via Yarn:

yarn add dc-tokens

Via PNPM

pnpm install dc-tokens

CHANGELOG

Usage

NOTE: For Node.js only (not supported in browsers)

DCT.sign(payload, privateKey, [options, callback])

If a callback is supplied, the callback is called with the err and the Token.

Else returns the DCToken as string

payload should be string.

privateKey is a string or buffer.

options is an object with the following properties:

• timestamp (in milliseconds) - defaults to Date.now()
• epoch (in milliseconds) - defaults to Milliseconds since Discord Epoch: 1420070400000

callback is a function that is called with the err and the Token as string respectively.

Synchronous Sign:

const DCT = require('dc-tokens');
let token = DCT.sign("Cute little cats", "secret");

Sign asynchronously

const DCT = require('dc-tokens');

DCT.sign("Cute little cats", "secret", { }, (err, token) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log(token);
  }
});

DCT.verify(token, privateKey, [options, callback])

If a callback is supplied, the callback is called with the err and the TokenObject.

Else returns the TokenObject as string

The TokenObject is an object with the following structure

{
  payload: string;
  timestamp: Date;
  signature: string;
}

privateKey is a string or buffer. it should be the same key that was used to generate the token.

options is an object with the following properties:

• epoch (in milliseconds) - defaults to Milliseconds since Discord Epoch: 1420070400000

callback is a function that is called with the err and the TokenObject respectively.

Verify Asynchronously

const DCT = require('dc-tokens');

DCT.verify(token, privateKey, options, (err, decoded) =>{
    console.log(decoded);
});

Verify Synchronously

const DCT = require('dc-tokens');

let decoded = DCT.verify(token, privateKey, options);

Handiling Errors

const DCT = require('dc-tokens');

// Handling Erros - Asynchronously
DCT.verify(token, privateKey, options, (err, decoded) =>{
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log(decoded);
  }
});

// Handling Erros - Synchronously
try{
  let decoded = DCT.verify(token, privateKey, options);
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

Error Codes

the error that is passed as the first paramater in the callback function in either sign or verify has a specific structure when running asynchronously.

{
  code: DCTError;
  message: string;
  stack?: string;
}

DCTError can have the following values:

• INVALID_TOKEN - token is invalid
• TOKEN_MALFORMED - token is malformed
• SIGNATURE_REQUIRED - signature is required
• INVALID_SIGNATURE - invalid signature
• UNCAUGHT_ERROR - uncaught error (any other error)
• TIMESTAMP_MALFORMED - malformed timestamp

If used synchronously, the error is thrown.
