Generate 2 tokens with different exp time

[erezger]

hello
what about two different secret keys?
secret key for access token and different secret key for refresh token?

[quangpdt]

A simple implementation can help you on this without module support:

Install jsonwebtoken package and its type definition:

npm i jsonwebtoken  
npm i -D @types/jsonwebtoken

Implement the refresh token like these:

import * as jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';

public createToken({ id, email, role }: UserModel) {
    const user = { id, email, role };
    const token = this.jwtService.sign(user);
    const refreshToken = jwt.sign(user, refreshTokenSecretKey, { expiresIn: '14d' });
    return {
        expires_in: expiresIn,
        access_token: token,
        refresh_token: refreshToken,
    };
}

Hope this help!

You can change the expires time when you sign the token.
access_token: this.jwtService.sign(payload_acess, {expiresIn: 50} ),
refresh_token: this.jwtService.sign(payload_refresh, {expiresIn: 500})

here time is on seconds.

If you decide to merge this PR, can you please update the npm package as well with the new version? Thanks!

I have the same problem

Hello guys, he asks me if you can tell me how to implement the access token and refresh token with different secret keys each.
I have seen that they can be used with different expiration times, but I still don't know how to implement them with a different secret key. Can you think of something? @isurumaldeniya
