Whether you're building API testing tools, CLI utilities, or custom HTTP clients, this package helps you programmatically generate authentication headers for: - πŸ” Basic Auth - πŸͺͺ Bearer Tokens - πŸ”„ Digest Auth - πŸ” JWTs Built with zero dependencies, it’s fast to install, easy to use, and doesn’t add unnecessary bloat to your project. ### ✨ Features [](#-features) - βœ… Fluent, chainable API for building authentication headers effortlessly - βœ… Lightweight and dependency-free PHP library - βœ… Supports Basic Auth, Bearer tokens, Digest Auth, and JWT generation - βœ… Easily integrates into CLI tools, HTTP clients, API testing, and automation workflows Important This package is designed solely for **generating** authentication tokens. It does not include any token decoding, validation, or verification functionality. Tip For complete JWT encoding/decoding solutions, consider using a dedicated library such as [firebase/php-jwt](https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt) Installation ------------ [](#installation) Note - Requires [PHP 8.2+](https://www.php.net/releases/) ``` composer require chr15k/php-auth-generator ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Basic Auth [](#basic-auth) ``` use Chr15k\AuthGenerator\AuthGenerator; // Generate a Basic Auth token $token = AuthGenerator::basicAuth() ->username('user') ->password('pass') ->toString(); // Output: dXNlcjpwYXNz ``` ### Bearer Token [](#bearer-token) ``` use Chr15k\AuthGenerator\AuthGenerator; // Generate a Bearer token with custom length and prefix $token = AuthGenerator::bearerToken() ->length(64) ->prefix('api_') ->toString(); // Output: api_8f7d49b3c70e4... ``` ### Digest Auth [](#digest-auth) ``` use Chr15k\AuthGenerator\AuthGenerator; use Chr15k\AuthGenerator\Enums\DigestAlgorithm; // Generate a Digest Auth token $token = AuthGenerator::digestAuth() ->username('user') ->password('pass') ->realm('example.com') ->uri('/protected-resource') ->method('GET') ->algorithm(DigestAlgorithm::MD5) ->toString(); // Output: username="user", realm="example.com", nonce="1234abcd...", uri="/protected-resource", algorithm="MD5" response="a2fc57d9..." ``` ### JWT [](#jwt) ``` use Chr15k\AuthGenerator\AuthGenerator; use Chr15k\AuthGenerator\Enums\Algorithm; // Generate a JWT with claims and custom algorithm $token = AuthGenerator::jwt() ->key('secret-key') ->algorithm(Algorithm::HS256) ->claim('user_id', 123) ->claim('role', 'admin') ->expiresIn(3600) // 1 hour ->issuedBy('https://myapp.com') ->toString(); // Output: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxMjMsInJvbGUiOiJhZG1pbiIsImlhdCI6MTY... ``` Headers and Formatting ---------------------- [](#headers-and-formatting) The library provides fluent methods to format tokens for use in HTTP headers: ``` use Chr15k\AuthGenerator\AuthGenerator; // Generate a Basic Auth token and get headers in one go $headers = AuthGenerator::basicAuth() ->username('user') ->password('pass') ->toArray([ 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', 'Accept' => 'application/json', ]); /* [ 'Authorization' => 'Basic dXNlcjpwYXNz', 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', 'Accept' => 'application/json', ] */ // For Bearer tokens $headers = AuthGenerator::bearerToken() ->length(64) ->prefix('api_') ->toArray(); // Output: ['Authorization' => 'Bearer api_8f7d49b3...'] // For JWT tokens $headers = AuthGenerator::jwt() ->key('secret-key') ->claim('user_id', 123) ->toArray([ 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', ]); // Get the raw token string $token = AuthGenerator::basicAuth() ->username('user') ->password('pass') ->toString(); // Output: 'dXNlcjpwYXNz' // Format tokens directly to header strings with the fluent toHeader() method $headerString = AuthGenerator::basicAuth() ->username('user') ->password('pass') ->toHeader(); // Output: 'Basic dXNlcjpwYXNz' ``` HTTP Client Integration ----------------------- [](#http-client-integration) You can easily integrate with popular HTTP clients: ### Guzzle [](#guzzle) ``` use Chr15k\AuthGenerator\AuthGenerator; use GuzzleHttp\Client; // Create Guzzle client with authentication headers $client = new Client([ 'base_uri' => 'https://api.example.com', 'headers' => AuthGenerator::jwt() ->key('secret-key') ->claim('user_id', 123) ->expiresIn(3600) ->toArray([ 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', ]), ]); $response = $client->get('/resources'); ``` Advanced Usage -------------- [](#advanced-usage) You can access the underlying generator instance if needed: ``` $generator = AuthGenerator::basicAuth() ->username('user') ->password('pass') ->build(); // Now you can work directly with the generator $token = $generator->generate(); ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) - [User Guide](docs/USER_GUIDE.md) - Comprehensive guide with examples - [API Cheat Sheet](docs/API_CHEATSHEET.md) - Quick reference of all available methods ### Health Score 30 β€” LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance53 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity43 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits β€” single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** β€” Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.

This is most useful in tests, when you want to create a mock HTTP server and test how your HTTP client handles different types of responses from the server. 11813.5k6](/packages/ciareis-bypass) PHPackages Β© 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
