Documentation

The jwt-toolkit-fast module supports JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and provides functionality for signing and verifying tokens.

Encode/Sign JWT

Creates a JWT using the given payload.

import { encode_jwt } from "jwt-toolkit-fast";

const generateToken = async (): Promise<void> => {
  const secret = 'secret';
  const payload = { userId: 123, name: 'Anish' };
  const options = {ttl: 3600, aud: "my-aud", iss: "laptop"}

  try {
    const token = await encode_jwt(secret, 1, payload, options);
    console.log('Encoded Token:', token);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error encoding JWT:', error);
  }
};

aud and iss are optional parameters passed in options.

Decode JWT

Decodes a JWT and returns the payload.

import { decode_jwt } from "jwt-toolkit-fast";

const decodeToken = async (): Promise<void> => {
  const secret = 'secret';
  try {
    const signature = await decode_jwt(secret, token)
    console.log(signature);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

Validate JWT

Validates a JWT, if a JWT token is expired then it returns false otherwise returns true

import { validate_jwt } from "jwt-toolkit-fast";

const validateToken = async (): Promise<void> => {
  const secret = 'secret';
  try {
    const signature = await validate_jwt(secret, token)
    console.log(signature);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}
