Promise Methods

[the-architect]

Just found out about this, so maybe someone else can use it too.

You can promisify callback methods like this:

const { promisify } = require("util");
const jwksClient = require("jwks-rsa");

...

const client = jwksClient({ <yourOptions> });

// promisify the function:
const getSigningKey = promisify(client.getSigningKey);

// use it like any other promise:
const key = await getSigningKey(kid);

Agreed, sorry about that. The bot appears to be a little over zealous in its desire to close issues.

Thank you for the re-open.

I know this is a node library but I'd also like to be able to use this on frontend sites to verify tokens.

The next part can be wrong, only starting with js in browsers so correct me here:

• Through the callbacks setImmediate() is used, which is supported by node but not by browsers.
• This is not supported in any browser except Microsofts IE/Edge https://caniuse.com/#feat=setimmediate.

So please don't just promisify the existing callbacks, since this will not change the call to setImmediate().

I'm experiencing the same behavior in spa as @vinerich described.
