JWT Auth API

JS Axios based api library for managing JWT token authorization and refreshing.
It's works fine with tymondesigns/jwt-auth

This library, just pause all requests if token is not alive, and refresh it if RefreshTTL is not expired.

Installation

$ npm install jwt-auth-api

# or

$ yarn add jwt-auth-api

Creating JWTAuthApi object

new JWTAuthApi(object: axiosConfig, string: refreshUrl, int: refreshTTL);

axiosConfig - is original config for axios. More about that, you can read here
refreshUrl - is the url for endpoint where the library can get refreshed access token. more
refreshTTL - is time to left for refreshing token.

Configure

Create api.js file:

import JWTAuthApi from 'jwt-auth-api';

const axiosConfig = {
  baseUrl: 'http://api.example.com',
  headers: {
    'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest',
    'Accept': 'application/json',
  }
};

const api = new JWTAuthApi(axiosConfig, '/api/auth/refresh', 1209600);

api.axios().interceptors.response
  .use(
    response => response,
    error => console.error(error)
  );

export default api;  
export const JWTToken = api.token;

Example usage

Fetch something from api:

import api from './api.js';

api.get('/api/user/me')
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.data.user);
  });

Set token from login:

import api from './api.js';
import { JWTToken } from './api.js';

api.post('/api/auth/login', {
    username: 'user',
    password: 'password'
  }).then(response => {
    const token = response.data.access_token;
    JWTToken.setToken(token);
  });

Refresh token endpoint schema

{
  "data": {
    // `access_token` is the JWT access token
    "access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJ...",

    // `expires_in` is not required, but can be in the feature
    "expires_in": 3600,

    // `token_type` is not required, but can be in the feature
    "token_type": "bearer",
  }
}

Requests methods

There are the same methods as you can use in regular axios instance except for the method request.

TODO

• [ ] Add callback to refresh token
• [ ] Automatically get token from login request (and with callback)
• [ ] Add request axios method
• [ ] Write tests
