Crate nickel_jwt_session [−] [src]
An experimental middleware for jwt-based login for nickel.
When the SessionMiddleware is invoked, it checks if there is a "jwt"
cookie or Authorization: Bearer header, depending on configuration.
If it finds a valid, properly signed jwt token, data from
the token is added to the request.
Basic usage supports setting and clearing a username with the
set_jwt_user() and clear_jwt() methods on
SessionResponseExtensions, and accessing an authorized user's username
through the SessionRequestExtensions method authorized_user().
If, instead of a username, you would like to store arbitrary data in the
jwt claims payload, use the set_jwt_custom_claims() and
clear_jwt() methods on SessionResponseExtensions, and
access the data on a valid token using the SessionRequestExtensions method
valid_custom_claims().
Working usage examples exist in the examples directory.
