JWT Middleware
==============

[](#jwt-middleware)

A simple PSR-15 compatible JWT authentication middleware.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require ideationnet/jwt-middleware
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use with your favourite PSR-15 middleware dispatcher, like [Stack Runner](https://github.com/ideationnet/stack-runner). Example configuration (using PHP-DI) where the options are changed to add `/token` as a public path:

```
return [
    JwtMiddleware::class => object()
        ->constructorParameter('options', ['public' => ['/token']]),
];
```

Options:

- `key` is the JWT secret key, defaults to `JWT_SECRET` environment variable
- `algorithms` is the array of supported algorithms, defaults to `['HS512']`
- `public` is an array of paths that bypass authentication
- `attribute` is the name of the attribute into which the decoded token is stored, defaults to `jwt-token`

The token is available in the `$request` object in middleware further down the stack:

```
$token = $request->getAttribute('jwt-token');

```
