Usage

Put this into your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
frank_jwt = "<current version of frank_jwt>"

And this in your crate root:

extern crate frank_jwt;
#[macro_use] extern crate serde_json;


use frank_jwt::{Algorithm, encode, decode};

Example

//HS256
let mut payload = json!({
    "key1": "val1",
    "key2": "val2"
});

let mut header = json!({});
let secret = "secret123";
let jwt = encode(&header, secret.to_string(), &payload, Algorithm::HS256);

//RS256
use std::env;

let mut payload = json!({
    "key1": "val1",
    "key2": "val2"
});

let mut header = json!({});
let mut keypath = env::current_dir().unwrap();
keypath.push("some_folder");
keypath.push("my_rsa_2048_key.pem");
let jwt = encode(&header, &keypath.to_path_buf(), &payload, Algorithm::RS256);
let (header, payload) = decode(&jwt, &keypath.to_path_buf(), Algorithm::RS256, &ValidationOptions::default());

Validation Options

The ValidationOptions structure allows for control over which checks should be preformed when decoding a JWT. Calling new on this will provide a default set of values. There is also a dangerous function that will return validation options that doesn't perform any checking.

The default values are:

• Perform expiry check
• Allow 0 leeway for the expiry check.

It's worth noting that if the expiry check is requested and an exp claim is not within the JWT the check will fail validation.
