Cloudflare Worker JWT

A lightweight JWT implementation with ZERO dependencies for Cloudflare Workers.

Contents

Install

npm i @tsndr/cloudflare-worker-jwt

Examples

Basic Example

async () => {
    import jwt from "@tsndr/cloudflare-worker-jwt"

    // Create a token
    const token = await jwt.sign({
        sub: "1234",
        name: "John Doe",
        email: "[email protected]"
    }, "secret")

    // Verify token
    const verifiedToken = await jwt.verify(token, "secret")

    // Abort if token isn't valid
    if (!verifiedToken)
        return

    // Access token payload
    const { payload } = verifiedToken

    // { sub: "1234", name: "John Doe", email: "[email protected]" }
}

Restrict Timeframe

async () => {
    import jwt from "@tsndr/cloudflare-worker-jwt"

    // Create a token
    const token = await jwt.sign({
        sub: "1234",
        name: "John Doe",
        email: "[email protected]",
        nbf: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)   (60 * 60),      // Not before: Now   1h
        exp: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)   (2 * (60 * 60)) // Expires: Now   2h
    }, "secret")

    // Verify token
    const verifiedToken = await jwt.verify(token, "secret")

    // Abort if token isn't valid
    if (!verifiedToken)
        return

    // Access token payload
    const { payload } = verifiedToken

    // { sub: "1234", name: "John Doe", email: "[email protected]", ... }
}

Usage


Sign

sign(payload, secret, [options])

Signs a payload and returns the token.

Arguments

Argument Type Status Default Description
payload object required - The payload object. To use nbf (Not Before) and/or exp (Expiration Time) add nbf and/or exp to the payload.
secret string, JsonWebKey, CryptoKey required - A string which is used to sign the payload.
options string, object optional HS256 Either the algorithm string or an object.
options.algorithm string optional HS256 See Available Algorithms
options.header object optional undefined Extend the header of the resulting JWT.

return

Returns token as a string.


Verify

verify(token, secret, [options])

Verifies the integrity of the token.

Argument Type Status Default Description
token string required - The token string generated by sign().
secret string, JsonWebKey, CryptoKey required - The string which was used to sign the payload.
options string, object optional HS256 Either the algorithm string or an object.
options.algorithm string optional HS256 See Available Algorithms
options.clockTolerance number optional 0 Clock tolerance in seconds, to help with slighly out of sync systems.
options.throwError boolean optional false By default this we will only throw integration errors, only set this to true if you want verification errors to be thrown as well.

throws

Throws integration errors and if options.throwError is set to true also throws ALG_MISMATCH, NOT_YET_VALID, EXPIRED or INVALID_SIGNATURE.

return

Returns the decoded token or undefined.

{
    header: {
        alg: "HS256",
        typ: "JWT"
    },
    payload: {
        sub: "1234",
        name: "John Doe",
        email: "[email protected]"
    }
}

Decode

decode(token)

Just returns the decoded token without verifying verifying it. Please use verify() if you intend to verify it as well.

Argument Type Status Default Description
token string required - The token string generated by sign().

return

Returns an object containing header and payload:

{
    header: {
        alg: "HS256",
        typ: "JWT"
    },
    payload: {
        sub: "1234",
        name: "John Doe",
        email: "[email protected]"
    }
}

Available Algorithms

  • ES256, ES384, ES512
  • HS256, HS384, HS512
  • RS256, RS384, RS512
