A custom JWT Wrapper to be used in iMemento projects. It uses the **RS256** algorithm and it is framework independent.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require imemento/jwt
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use iMemento\JWT\JWT;
```

### Encoding

[](#encoding)

To encode a JWT just use the `encode` static method:

```
/**
 * $payload object/array
 * $privateKey mixed the key used to sign the token
 */
$token = JWT::encode($payload, $private_key);
```

### Decoding

[](#decoding)

To decode a JWT we must follow the next steps.

1. Instantiate the class with the token we want to decode:

    ```
    $jwt = new JWT($token);
    ```
2. Get the issuer before checking the signature (used to find the correct public key):

    ```
    $issuer = $jwt->getIssuer();
    ```
3. Get the payload and check the signature at the same time:

    ```
    $payload = $jwt->decode($public_key);
    ```

### Additional Classes

[](#additional-classes)

*Guard.php* - Decrypts the token and is used to extract the permissions from it.

*Issuer.php* - Represents the current application.

*Payload.php* - Is used to create a standard payload for the JWT.
