jose-cjs

A fork of panva/jose v6 with dual ESM + CommonJS support.

The original jose v6 is ESM-only. This package adds full CJS support via bundled .cjs files, while keeping the original ESM tree-shakeable exports intact.

Install

npm install jose-cjs

Usage

CommonJS (require)

// Full package
const jose = require('jose-cjs');
const { SignJWT, jwtVerify, generateKeyPair } = require('jose-cjs');

// Sub-path imports also work
const { jwtVerify } = require('jose-cjs/jwt/verify');
const { SignJWT }   = require('jose-cjs/jwt/sign');

ESM (import)

import * as jose from 'jose-cjs';
import { SignJWT } from 'jose-cjs/jwt/sign';
import { jwtVerify } from 'jose-cjs/jwt/verify';
