Examples

Basic Example

async () => {
    const jwt = require('@tsndr/cloudflare-worker-jwt')

    // Creating a token
    const token = await jwt.sign({ name: 'John Doe', email: 'john.doe@gmail.com' }, 'secret')

    // Verifing token
    const isValid = await jwt.verify(token, 'secret')

    // Check for validity
    if (!isValid)
        return

    // Decoding token
    const payload = jwt.decode(token)
}

Restrict Timeframe

async () => {
    const jwt = require('@tsndr/cloudflare-worker-jwt')

    // Creating a token
    const token = await jwt.sign({
        name: 'John Doe',
        email: 'john.doe@gmail.com',
        nbf: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + (60 * 60),      // Not before: Now + 1h
        exp: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + (2 * (60 * 60)) // Expires: Now + 2h
    }, 'secret')

    // Verifing token
    const isValid = await jwt.verify(token, 'secret') // false

    // Check for validity
    if (!isValid)
        return

    // Decoding token
    const payload = jwt.decode(token) // { name: 'John Doe', email: 'john.doe@gmail.com', ... }
}

Usage


jwt.sign(payload, secret, [options])

Signs a payload and returns the token.

Arguments

Argument Type Satus Default Description
payload object required - The payload object. To use nbf (Not Before) and/or exp (Expiration Time) add nbf and/or exp to the payload.
secret string required - A string which is used to sign the payload.
options object, string optional { algorithm: 'HS256' } The options object supporting algorithm and keyid or just the algorithm string. (See Available Algorithms)

return

Returns token as a string.


jwt.verify(token, secret, [options])

Verifies the integrity of the token and returns a boolean value.

Argument Type Satus Default Description
token string required - The token string generated by jwt.sign().
secret string required - The string which was used to sign the payload.
algorithm object, string optional { algorithm: 'HS256' } The options object supporting algorithm or just the algorithm string. (See Available Algorithms)

return

Returns true if signature, nbf (if set) and exp (if set) are valid, otherwise returns false.


jwt.decode(token)

Returns the payload without verifying the integrity of the token. Please use jwt.verify() first to keep your application secure!

Argument Type Satus Default Description
token string required - The token string generated by jwt.sign().

return

Returns payload object.
