JWT middleware usage example

[raphael]

Thanks for raising this, here is an example until docs get added:

    spec := &jwt.Specification{
        AllowParam:       false,
        AuthOptions:      false,
        TTLMinutes:       1440,
        Issuer:           "api.xordataexchange.com",
        KeySigningMethod: jwt.RSA256,
        SigningKeyFunc:   privateKey,
        ValidationFunc:   pubKey,
    }
    service.Use(jwt.Middleware(spec))

    tm := jwt.NewTokenManager(spec)

You can then use tm to create tokens. Obviously this is just an example, your code may be organized differently.

I presume service.Use(jwt.Middleware(spec)) will wrap all API endpoints in jwt and would require token. How would I exclude i.e. /auth/login which would be used for authenticating and then generating tokens for client?

[raphael]

That's correct. You can mount middlewares on specific controllers instead of service wide.

Brilliant thanks !
BTW great project !

[raphael]

Thank you! I'll leave this issue opened until we have proper docs for the JWT middleware.

[raphael]

The package is now properly documented. Thanks for the report.
