Tokens with User Pools

This demo shows the real cognito three tokens in the aws document Using Tokens with User Pools. It also helps you to fully undertand how the payload looks like.

Preparation

• create cognito user pool. You can reference the serverless stack in create_coginto_userpool
• create at least one user in cognito user pool. If you want to create new user with command, reference signup.sh. You need login aws console to manually confirm this new user.
• update username, password, user pool id and client id in config.json. There is a sample file for your reference: config.json.sample

Usage

run

$ npm install cognito-token
# edit config.json
$ cognito-token config.json

userData: {"Username":"bill","Pool":{"userPoolId":"....
===========================
Result methods: idToken,refreshToken,accessToken,clockDrift
idToken methods: jwtToken,payload
accessToken methods: jwtToken,payload

ID token payload's method: sub,email_verified,gender,iss,phone_number_verified,cognito:username,given_name,aud,event_id,token_use,auth_time,phone_number,exp,iat,family_name,email

Access token: eyJraWQiOixxxxy5H5LaCQTw
===========================
Refresh token: eyJjdHkiOixxxx8twwVe2CnDKMig

You should get three tokens: id token, access token and refresh token

I also added codes to show how to get these three token's methods and how to show the user's attributes, for example, his/her emailbox.
