```
use JimTools\JwtAuth\Decoder\FirebaseDecoder;
use JimTools\JwtAuth\Middleware\JwtAuthentication;
use JimTools\JwtAuth\Exceptions\AuthorizationException;
use JimTools\JwtAuth\Options;
use JimTools\JwtAuth\Secret;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;

require './vendor/autoload.php';

$app = AppFactory::create();
$app->addErrorMiddleware(false, false, false)
    ->setErrorHandler(AuthorizationException::class, new MyErrorHandler());

$middleware = new JwtAuthentication(
    new Options(),
    new FirebaseDecoder(new Secret('tooManySecrets', 'HS256'))
);

$app->get('/protected', static function (Request $request, Response $response, array $args) {
    $response->getBody()->write('you will need a token');
    return $response;
})->addMiddleware($middleware);

$app->run();
```
