		       //success
		       application.output(token);
		   }

             //success
		       application.output(verified);
        }
        else {
            application.output('The token is not valid.');
        }

create(payload)

Create a JSON Web Token for the given payload that is signed with the (shared) secret key 'jwt.secret.password'. The 'jwt.secret.password' plugin property has to be configured on the admin page. The payload can be for example a user:username of the current user, so that with this token if it verifies with the same secret key you can assume it is the same user that wants to login. This is a shorthand method of the #builder() method with a HS256 algorithm.

Parameters Object payload a json containing the data, e.g. {'some': 'data', 'somemore': 'data2'}

Returns String a string representing the encrypted data or null if the token cannot be generated

Sample

create(payload, expiresAt)

Create a JSON Web Token for the given payload that is signed with the HS256 algorithm and the (shared) secret key 'jwt.secret.password'. The 'jwt.secret.password' plugin property has to be configured on the admin page. The payload can be for example a user:username of the current user, so that with this token if it verifies with the same secret key you can assume it is the same user that wants to login. The expiresAt makes sure this token is only valid until that date. This is a shorthand method of the #builder() method with a HS256 algorithm.

Parameters Object payload a json containing the data, e.g. {'some': 'data', 'somemore': 'data2'} Date expiresAt the date when the created token expires, after the expired date the token won't be verified

Returns String a string representing the encrypted data or null if the token cannot be generated

Sample

verify(token)

Verify a JSON Web Token with the HS256 algorithm and the (shared) secret key 'jwt.secret.password'. The 'jwt.secret.password' plugin property has to be configured on the admin page. This will only verify and return the payload that was given if the token was created with the HS256 algorithm and the 'jwt.secret.password'. Will also return null if the token passed its expire date.

Parameters String token a JSON Web Token

Returns Object the payload or null if the token can't be verified

Sample

verify(token, algorithm)

Verify a JSON Web Token with a specific algorithm. The token could be external or created with the #builder() method.

This will only verify and return the payload that was given if the token could be verified with the provided algorithm. Will also return null if the token passed its expire date.

Parameters String token a JSON Web Token Algorithm algorithm an algorithm used to verify the signature

Returns Object the payload or null if the token can't be verified
