tarent/middleware-jwt

middleware-jwt provides JWT authentication for Go. It is compatible with Go's own net/http and anything that speaks the http.Handler interface.

Examples

See the examples folder for working examples.

Installation

$ go get github.com/tarent/middleware-jwt

Usage

Since it's all http.Handler, middleware-jwt works with gorilla/mux and most other routers.

Basic usage

To run the simple example execute:

go run examples/gorilla/simple/main.go

To test it, execute the following curl in another terminal:

curl -v -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiZ3JvdXBzIjpbImdyb3VwQSIsImdyb3VwQiJdLCJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.pPJGnFh4FUJnIcnReZlrrraG0Ep_bqEadYo6iH4KdHY" localhost:8080

Advanced usage

For complex authentication scenarios, you can access the "claims" in the http context which is passed to the subsequent http handlers. This allows you to:

To run the advanced example execute:

go run examples/gorilla/advanced/main.go

To test it, execute the following curl in another terminal:

curl -v -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiZ3JvdXBzIjpbImdyb3VwQSIsImdyb3VwQiJdLCJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.pPJGnFh4FUJnIcnReZlrrraG0Ep_bqEadYo6iH4KdHY" localhost:8080
