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

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

```
composer require "sergeymakinen/yii2-jwt-user:^3.0"
```

or add

```
"sergeymakinen/yii2-jwt-user": "^3.0"
```

to the require section of your `composer.json` file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Set the following Yii 2 configuration parameters:

```
[
    'components' => [
        'user' => [
            'class' => 'sergeymakinen\yii\jwtuser\User',
            'identityClass' => 'app\models\User',
            'enableAutoLogin' => true, // Optional
            'key' => 'random sign key (CHANGE IT!)',
        ],
    ],
]
```

Also set `identityClass` to whatever your identity class name is.

**Don't forget**: set `key` to some *random* value and make sure it's *secret* and long enough.

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

[](#configuration)

You can choose between 3 different modes of sign key generation:

`$useAuthKey` value`$appendAuthKey` valueResulting key`false``false``sergeymakinen\yii\jwtuser\User::$key``true``false``yii\web\IdentityInterface::getAuthKey()``true``true``sergeymakinen\yii\jwtuser\User::$key`
concatenated with
`yii\web\IdentityInterface::getAuthKey()`Your choice depends on how you're going to use identities, revoke old/compromised keys.

It's also possible to specify "audience" and "issuer" claims (and validate against them) via corresponding `$audience` and `$issuer` properties. They both may be either strings or `Closure` returning a string.
