JWT Tokens plugin for Craft CMS 3.x
===================================

[](#jwt-tokens-plugin-for-craft-cms-3x)

Create JWT Tokens in Twig.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-beta.23 or later.

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

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
     cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
     composer require elementworks/jwt-tokens

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for JWT Tokens.

Settings
--------

[](#settings)

The only setting is a signing secret. It is recommended to set this using an [environment variable](https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/config/environments.html).

How to create a JWT Token
-------------------------

[](#how-to-create-a-jwt-token)

First, create a payload as a Twig hash (associative array).

Next, pass this into the Twig function, along with the algorithm (e.g. `'HS256'`) to create the token:

```
{% set payload = {
   'name': 'John Doe',
   'company': 'Google',
} %}

{% set token = craft.jwtTokens.createToken(payload, 'HS256') %}
```
