laravel-jwt
===========

[](#laravel-jwt)

A simple Laravel package that implements a `Provider`, `Middleware` and `Facade` for `JWT` using [lcobucci/jwt](https://github.com/lcobucci/jwt) library to generate and check the tokens.

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

[](#dependencies)

This library requires:

- PHP 5.5+
- OpenSSL Extension

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Using composer:

```
composer require ociomercado/laravel-jwt

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Provider

[](#provider)

You need to update your `config/app.php` file and add the following code in the `providers` section:

```
  'providers' => [
    // Other providers

      OcioMercado\LaravelJWT\JWTServiceProvider::class,

    // Other providers
  ]
```

### Alias

[](#alias)

Also, you need to add the following in the `aliases` section:

```
  'aliases' => [
    // Other aliases

      'JWT' => OcioMercado\LaravelJWT\Facades\JWTFacade::class,

    // Other aliases
  ]
```

### Config file

[](#config-file)

Then you need to publish the configuration file so you customize the options:

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

This will create the config file `jwt.php` in the `/config` folder. Don't forget to check it out and change the options as you need.

Using the library
-----------------

[](#using-the-library)

### Protecting routes

[](#protecting-routes)

Now you can use the `JWT` middleware to protect your routes:

```
  Route::get('/user', function (Request $request) {
    return 'Route secured!';
  })->middleware('JWT');
```

The `middleware` checks if the `request` has a `Authorization` header or the parameter `token` sent via `GET` or `POST`.

### The `JWT` class

[](#the-jwt-class)

```
  /**
   * Creates and signs a new JWT.
   *
   * It signs the token with the configured type of key in the jwt.php file.
   *
   * @param string $jti A unique identifier for the token.
   * @param mixed[] $customClaims Optional data to append to the token.
   *
   * @return Lcobucci\JWT\Token
   */
  public function createToken($jti = null, $customClaims = null)
```

```
  /**
   * Validates and verifies a JWT.
   *
   * It verfies the token with the configured type of key in the jwt.php file.
   *
   * @return Lcobucci\JWT\Token Returns the token.
   *
   * @throws TokenNotFoundException When the token is not found.
   * @throws InvalidTokenException When the token is not valid.
   * @throws InvalidTokenSignException When the token sign is not valid.
   */
  public function verifyToken($token)
```

```
  /**
   * Gets the JWT string from the request headers or from the GET parameter.
   *
   * @return string Returns the token string.
   *
   * @throws TokenNotFoundException When the token is not found.
   */
  public function getTokenString()
```

```
  /**
   * Parses the JWT string.
   *
   * @return Lcobucci\JWT\Token Returns the token.
   *
   * @throws TokenNotFoundException When the token is not found.
   * @throws InvalidTokenException When the token is not valid.
   */
  public function parseTokenString()
```

```
  /**
   * Checks if the JWT has expired.
   *
   * @throws TokenNotFoundException When the token is not found.
   * @throws InvalidTokenException When the token is not valid.
   * @throws TokenExpiredException When the token has expired.
   */
  public function tokenExpired()
```

```
  /**
   * Checks if the JWT can be refreshed.
   *
   * @return boolean Returns true is the token can be refreshed, otherwise it returns false.
   *
   * @throws TokenNotFoundException When the token is not found.
   * @throws InvalidTokenException When the token is not valid.
   */
  public function isRefreshableToken()
```

```
  /**
   * Gets the JWT object.
   *
   * @return Lcobucci\JWT\Token Returns the token.
   *
   * @throws TokenNotFoundException When the token is not found.
   * @throws InvalidTokenException When the token is not valid.
   */
  public function getToken()
```
