Usage
The package supports ES5 or later. The example below is using ES6 features.
Here you can find instructions on how to generate private & public keys.
const JWTGenerator = // const jwtGenerator = new JWTGenerator({loginUrl: <url>, privateKey: <privateKey>, useRetry: <use retry>, issuer: <issuer>})const jwtGenerator = loginUrl: 'https://auth.domain.com' privateKey: '<privateKey>' useRetry: true issuer: 'urn:home-automation/garage-door-raspberry-client' // jwtGenerator.makeNewToken({subject: <subject>, audience: <audience>, payload: <payload>, expiresIn: <expires (seconds)>})jwtGenerator // jwtGenerator.makeToken({subject: <subject>, audience: <audience>, payload: <payload>, expiresIn: <expires (seconds)>})jwtGenerator
The difference between makeToken
and makeNewToken
is that the former may re-use existing token that has been stored in the cached,
while the latter will always generate new token by calling the authentication server.
