jsonwebtokenify

Description

jsonwebtokenify is a library that allows the generation, verification, and decoding of JWTs (JSON Web Tokens). The library provides flexibility in customizing the payload of the token, and provides methods to verify the validity of the token and decode the payload.

Installation

To install the library, you can use npm:

npm install jsonwebtokenify

Usage

First, you need to import the JWT class from the library:

import { JWT } from "jsonwebtokenify";

Next, you can instantiate a JWT object by providing a "secret", which will be used to sign your tokens:

const jwt = new JWT('your_secret');

To generate a new JWT token, you can use the generate method. This method takes a payload object and an optional options object:

const payload = { id: '123', name: 'Test User' };
const options = { expiresIn: '1h' };  // Options for the token generation
const token = jwt.generate(payload, options);

To verify a token, use the verify method. This method takes the token and the secret used to sign it and returns a boolean indicating whether the token is valid:

const isValid = jwt.verify(token, 'your_secret');

Finally, to decode a token's payload without verifying it, you can use the decode method:

const decodedPayload = jwt.decode(token);

Tests

To run the tests for the library, you can use the npm test command:

npm test
