Manage JWTs for users which can be used to login.
This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-RC1 or later.
To install the plugin, follow these instructions.
-
Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:
cd /path/to/project
-
Then tell Composer to load the plugin:
composer require hubertprein/craft-jwtmanager
-
In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for JWT Manager.
Use JWT manager to enable auto login features for your websites and mobile apps using JWTs.
You can also use it as a sort of framework to manually call the JWT and auto login features.
When do you use it? Your mobile apps requests data which needs the user to login with every request that they do. While you should never send the username and password everytime, one should use a JWT. Bonus to it is that logging in using a JWT, is much faster.
