php-jwt for Laravel

Version 2.0.0 is compatible with Illuminate Support 10 and 11

This package provides a convenient way to use the lib firebase/php-jwt https://packagist.org/packages/firebase/php-jwt in Laravel.

• Call methods encode() and decode() via facade
• Set up your configuration in a config file for convenience

Installation

composer req d4v/php-jwt

Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

The config file allows you to set issuer (from), secret (private key), algorythm (how to encrypt data) and ttl (time to live).

return [
    'issuer' => env('APP_URL', 'who-sent-the-token'),
    'secret' => env('JWT_SECRET', 'your-key-here'),
    'algo' => 'HS256',
    'ttl' => 3600, // Expiration in seconds
];

This command can generate a key for you depending of your needs

php artisan key:generate --show

How to use

Simple way

In its simplest form, the lib can help you generate a JWT this fast:

use D4v\JWT\Facades\JWT;

$token = JWT::encode(['sub'=> 1]);

You can also set your parameters entirely at runtime if needed:

payload = [
    'iss' => 'https://mydomain.tld',
    'sub' => 1,
    'iat' => time(),
    'exp' => time() + 60 * 10
];

JWT::encode($payload);

Call the decode() method to restore the data :

$decoded = JWT::decode($token);
