package main

import (

    "github.com/go-kira/kira/middlewares/jwt"
)

func main() {
    app := kira.New()
    app.Use(csrf.NewCSRF()) // We use the middleware globally

    app.Get("/jwt", func(ctx *kira.Context) {
        token, err := jwt.CreateToken(ctx, map[string]interface{}{
            "foo": "bar",
        })
        if err != nil {
            ctx.Error(err)
        }

        ctx.Stringf("JWT token: %s", token)
    })

    app.Post("/jwt", func(ctx *kira.Context) {
        ctx.String("Protected.")
    })

    app.Run()
}

Configuration

You can configure this middleware from your config.toml file.

• [app.key]: It's used to encrypt the JWT token.
• [jwt.lookup]: You can shouls which method to use in the lookup: <method>:<name>. By default it's header:Authorization

You can use in the lookup only: header, cookie. Maybe in the future we support more methods like query...
