A very simple wrapper for create, encode, decode JWT Tokens and abstract the PHP JWT Component

How it works

This library is intented to be located at server side.

The flow is

Without Token:

Generate Token:

JwtWrapper::createJwtData
JwtWrapper::generateToken

With token

Validate Token:

JwtWrapper::extractData

Create your Jwt Secret Key

You can use two type of secret keys. A Hash (HS512) that is faster, or a RSA (RS512) that is more secure.

Hash Key

openssl rand -base64 64     # set here the size of your key

RSA

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "Jwt RSA Key" -b 2048 -f private.pem
openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem

Note: Save without password

Create JWT Token (Hash Encoding)

<?php
$server = "example.com";
$secret = new \ByJG\JwtWrapper\JwtHashHmacSecret(base64_encode("secrect_key_for_test"));

$jwtWrapper = new \ByJG\JwtWrapper\JwtWrapper($server, $secret);

$token = $jwtWrapper->createJwtData([
    "key" => "value",
    "key2" => "value2"
]);

Create JWT Token (OpenSSL Encoding)

<?php
$server = "example.com";
$secret = <<<TEXT

# Note that if you want to use RSA just pass the 3rd argument (public key)
# See above how to create the RSA Key pair.
$jwtKey = new \ByJG\JwtWrapper\JwtOpenSSLKey($secret, $public);
$jwtWrapper = new \ByJG\JwtWrapper\JwtWrapper($server, $jwtKey);

$token = $jwtWrapper->createJwtData([
    "key" => "value",
    "key2" => "value2"
]);

Extracting

<?php
# If exists $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHENTICATION'] = "Bearer $TOKEN"
$data = $jwtWrapper->extractData();

# If you want to decode directly:
$data = $jwtWrapper->extractData($token);

Issuer validation

By default the issuer is validated against the server name. If you want to disable this validation you can call the method below:

$data = $jwtWrapper->extractData($token, false); // Setting false disables the issuer validation

Adding a Leeway

You can add a leeway to account for when there is a clock skew times between the signing and verifying servers. It is recommended that this leeway should not be bigger than a few minutes.

$jwtWrapper->setLeeway(60)

Important: Since the Firebase JWT class set the leeway value as a "static" property once you call the method above it will set up the same value to all JwtWrapper instances
