jwtLinker

A wrapper for around jwt; It forms a link with JWT token

Requirement

• Node
• NPM

Installation

Use the package manager npm to install jwt-linker.

npm install jwt-linker

Usage

const jwtLinker = require('jwt-linker');

form

Use the form method if you would like to get a link. This method receives a number of parameters:

// jwt options (an object): payload, key, options. These are normal jwt stuffs
const jwtOptions = {
  payload: payload,
  key: `key`,
  options: options,
};

// URL Options (object): mode, name, protocol like so:
const urlOptions = {
  mode: 'param' || 'query',
  name: 'requred if query mode is preferred',
  protocol: 'http' || 'https',
};

// URL (string): an example is `localhost:4200`
const URL = 'localhost:4200';

jwtLinker.form(jwtOptions, urlOptions, URL);

other parameters queryName && protocol are optional

jwtSign

jwtLinker.jwtSign(); // signs the token

create

Use the create method if you would like just the encryption like so:

jwtLinker.create({
  payload: payload, // JWT payload
  key: key, // encryption key
  options: options, // JWT options
});

encryptedLink

Use this method to get a link with the encryption given the configuration parameters you have supplied.

jwtLinker.encryptedLink(); // returns an encrypted link based on the parameters described above in jwtLinker.form(parameters);

token

Token is a getter that returns the JWT Token.

jwtSign().token; // would return the token

jwtLinker.create(parameters).token; // JWT token

Fixes

• malformed link

Additions

• method jwtSign (chainable)
