JWT tokens code example

Example 1: jwt token example in node js

function authenticateToken(req, res, next) {
  // Gather the jwt access token from the request header
  const authHeader = req.headers['authorization']
  const token = authHeader && authHeader.split(' ')[1]
  if (token == null) return res.sendStatus(401) // if there isn't any token

  jwt.verify(token, process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET as string, (err: any, user: any) => {
    console.log(err)
    if (err) return res.sendStatus(403)
    req.user = user
    next() // pass the execution off to whatever request the client intended
  })
}

Example 2: javascript token generator

function generate_token(length){
    //edit the token allowed characters
    var a = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890".split("");
    var b = [];  
    for (var i=0; i<length; i++) {
        var j = (Math.random() * (a.length-1)).toFixed(0);
        b[i] = a[j];
    }
    return b.join("");
}
generate_token(32); //returns "qweQj4giRJSdMNzB8g1XIa6t3YtRIHPH"

Example 3: what is jsonwebtoken

JSON Web Token is an Internet standard for creating data with optional
signature and/or optional encryption whose payload holds JSON that asserts
some number of claims.

The tokens are signed either using a private secret or a public/private key.

Example 4: jwt

HMACSHA256(
  base64UrlEncode(header) + "." +
  base64UrlEncode(payload),
  
) secret base64 encoded

Example 5: jsonwebtoken

RSASHA256(
  base64UrlEncode(header) + "." +
  base64UrlEncode(payload),
  ,
  
)
