JWT Authentication

A Python implementation of JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication and authorization using a symmetric secret key and HMAC-SHA256.

Features

• Generate JWT tokens with customizable expiration times
• Validate JWT tokens and verify their integrity using a symmetric secret key and HMAC-SHA256
• Extract user information (such as user ID 'sub') from JWT tokens

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install ft_jwt

Usage

from ft_jwt import JWT

# Create a JWT instance with your secret key
secret_key = 'your_secret_key'
jwt = JWT(secret_key)

# Generate a token for a user
sub = '1'
token = jwt.createToken(sub)

# Validate a token
is_valid, message = jwt.validateToken(token)
if is_valid:
    print('Token is valid')
else:
    print(f'Token is invalid: {message}')

# Get the user ID from a token
user_id = jwt.getUserId(token)
print(f'User ID: {sub}')
