Raw

JSON Web Token (JWT)

pub version

A dart implementation of the famous javascript library jsonwebtoken.

JSON Web Tokens are an open, industry standard RFC 7519 method for representing claims securely between two parties.

https://jwt.io allows you to decode, verify and generate JWT.

Examples

Check out the Example File for a full example code of all the differents algorithms.

Usage

Import

import 'package:dart_jsonwebtoken/dart_jsonwebtoken.dart';

Creating & signing a JWT

// Generate a JSON Web Token
// You can provide the payload as a key-value map or a string
final jwt = JWT(
  // Payload
  {
    'id': 123,
    'server': {
      'id': '3e4fc296',
      'loc': 'euw-2',
    }
  },
  issuer: 'https://github.com/jonasroussel/dart_jsonwebtoken',
);

// Sign it (default with HS256 algorithm)
final token = jwt.sign(SecretKey('secret passphrase'));

print('Signed token: $token\n');

Check if the JWT made is correct.

try {
  // Verify a token (SecretKey for HMAC & PublicKey for all the others)
  final jwt = JWT.verify(token, SecretKey('secret passphrase'));

  print('Payload: ${jwt.payload}');
} on JWTExpiredException {
  print('jwt expired');
} on JWTException catch (ex) {
  print(ex.message); // ex: invalid signature
}

You can also, decode the token without checking its signature

final jwt = JWT.decode(token);

print('Payload: ${jwt.payload}');

Keys creation for all the algorithms

The raw PEM content provided here is intended for learning purposes. In a production environment, it's recommended to read the private and public keys from separate files. Then, you can pass the content of these files (as strings) in the parameters

// H256, H384, H512
final hmacKey = SecretKey('secret passphrase');


// RS256, RS384, RS512, PS256, PS384, PS512
final rsaPrivKey = RSAPrivateKey('''
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEogIBAAKCAQEAq5QLAv9kYTgelglIhC17KdfUoinkwvQ4F0TZAp7qgmu19dCx
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
''');

// You can also extract the public key from a certificate with RSAPublicKey.cert(...)
final rsaPubKey = RSAPublicKey('''
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAq5QLAv9kYTgelglIhC17
...
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
'''
);


// ES256, ES256K, ES384, ES512
final ecPrivKey = ECPrivateKey('''
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIGHAgEAMBMGByqGSM49AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBG0wawIBAQQgevZzL1gdAFr88hb2
...
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
''');

// You can also extract the public key from a certificate with ECPublicKey.cert(...)
final ecPubKey = ECPublicKEy('''
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEEVs/o5+uQbTjL3chynL4wXgUg2R9
...
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
''');


// EdDSA (PEM parsing is not available for EdDSA keys)
final edPrivKey = EdDSAPrivateKey([1, 42, 12, 84, ...]);
final edPubKey = EdDSAPublicKey([1, 42, 12, 84, ...]);
