Instalation notes
-----------------

[](#instalation-notes)

`$ composer require ionghitun/jwt-token`

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

- php >= 7.3

Documentation:
--------------

[](#documentation)

You need to add `JWT_SECRET` to your `.env` file.

Import `Jwt` from `IonGhitun\JwtToken`

- use `Jwt::generateToken($payload)` to generate a token, `$payload` should be an array.
- use `Jwt::validateToken($token)` to validate a token.

Validity of the token is default one day. It can be overwritten by adding expiration to `$payload`:

```
    $payload['expiration'] = Carbon::now()->addDay()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

```

In case `$token` is not a valid Jwt token, expired or could not verify signature with secret a `IonGhitun\JwtToken\Exceptions\JwtException` will be thrown on `validateToken`method.

*Happy coding!*
