Yii2-jwt
========

[](#yii2-jwt)

Yii2-jwt is a set of functionality to work with JSON Web Tokens. It is a wrapper around the JWT extension `firebase/php-jwt` which can be attached to any class as a trait. The data of tokens is encapsulated in helper classes and represented as arrays, as it is usual within Yii2-applications.

Also check out the [repository of the firebase jwt extension](https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Basic installation

[](#basic-installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

```
$ composer require asinfotrack/yii2-jwt
```

or add

```
"asinfotrack/yii2-jwt": "~0.8.0"

```

to the `require` section of your `composer.json` file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Simply add the `JwtTokenTrait` to any class you wish to create tokens for. Usually this is a user class.

```
class User extends \yii\db\ActiveRecorde implements \yii\web\IdentityInterface
{

	//...

	use JwtTokenTrait;

	//...

	/**
	 * @inheritdoc
	 */
	public static function findIdentityByAccessToken($token, $type=null)
	{
		/* @var $result \asinfotrack\yii2\jwt\helpers\JwtTokenDecodingResult */

		try {
			//try decoding the token
			$result = $this->decodeJwtToken($token, Yii::$app->params['myJwtTokenSecret'], true, true);
		} catch (JwtException $e) {
			//check if token is valid but expired
			if ($e instanceof \asinfotrack\yii2\jwt\exceptions\JwtExpiredException) {
				//delete expired token from db
			}

			//return null to signal user could not be found
			return null;
		}

		//token was valid so we can extract the id
		$modelId = $result->getJti();

		//return the user model or null if not found
		return static::findOne($modelId);
	}

	//...

	/**
	 * Create a token for the current user model instance. You might want to persist
	 * the result in a token table to keep track of the tokens created.
	 *
	 * @return string the created token
	 */
	protected function createTokenForUser()
	{
		/* @var $request \asinfotrack\yii2\jwt\helpers\JwtTokenIssueRequest */

		//optional request if additional data is required (eg user roles)
		$userRoles = array_keys(Yii::$app->authManager->getRolesByUser($this->id));
		$request = new JwtIssueRequest();
		$request->setPayloadEntry('roles', $userRoles);

		return $this->createJwtToken($this->id, Yii::$app->params['myJwtTokenSecret'], $request);
	}

	//...

}
```
