A custom JWT Wrapper to be used in iMemento projects. It uses the RS256 algorithm and it is framework independent.

Install

composer require imemento/jwt

use iMemento\JWT\JWT;

To encode a JWT just use the encode static method:

/**
 * $payload object/array
 * $privateKey mixed the key used to sign the token
 */
$token = JWT::encode($payload, $private_key);

To decode a JWT we must follow the next steps.

Instantiate the class with the token we want to decode:
```
$jwt = new JWT($token);
```
Get the issuer before checking the signature (used to find the correct public key):
```
$issuer = $jwt->getIssuer();
```
Get the payload and check the signature at the same time:
```
$payload = $jwt->decode($public_key);
```

Guard.php - Decrypts the token and is used to extract the permissions from it.

Issuer.php - Represents the current application.

Payload.php - Is used to create a standard payload for the JWT.
