Empathy PHP Framework - ELib-JWT
================================

[](#empathy-php-framework---elib-jwt)

JWT Support for Empathy Applications using .

This extension depends on [elib-base](/docs/elib-base/).

The `JWT` service will automatically be enabled for your application. (See `services.php`).

The two methods available with this extension are:

```
get('JWT')->generate();

```

`generate()` uses a one-hour lifetime by default. Pass a lifetime in seconds when a different expiry is required:

```
get('JWT')->generate($ttl);

```

The default can be configured with the `ELIB_JWT_TTL` environment variable or the ELib `JWT_TTL` setting. `getTTL()` returns the resolved lifetime, which is useful when setting a browser cookie to the same expiry:

```
get('JWT');
$ttl = $jwt->getTTL();
$token = $jwt->generate($ttl);

```

and

```
get('JWT')->tryAuthenticate();

```
