This JWT utility is a simple tool to help verify JWT symmetric and asymmetric tokens.

Main features

IssuerManager

JwtManager

Wraps IssuerManager and can be used to verify JWT tokens.

Examples

Simple symmetric issuer

const privateKeyIssuer = new SymmetricIssuer(['http://localhost:8080']);
privateKeyIssuer.add('01', 'some-very-long-secret');

const issuerManager = new IssuerManager();
issuerManager.add(privateKeyIssuer);

await issuerManager.get('http://localhost:8080', '01'); // returns 'some-very-long-secret'

Azure multitenant issuer with one allowed tenant and JwtManager

const jwt = new JwtManager(new IssuerManager([new JwtAzureMultitenantTokenIssuer({allowedIssuers: [`https://sts.windows.net/${process.env.AZ_TENANT_ID}/`]})]));
// validate with jwt manager
const {isCached, body} = await jwt.verify(token);
