Usage

Installing paseto

npm install paseto

Usage

const paseto = require('paseto')

// Generic (all versions) APIs
const { decode } = paseto

// PASETO Protocol Version v1 specific API
const { V1 } = paseto // { sign, verify, encrypt, decrypt, generateKey }

// PASETO Protocol Version v2 specific API
const { V2 } = paseto // { sign, verify, generateKey }

// PASETO Protocol Version v3 specific API
const { V3 } = paseto // { sign, verify, encrypt, decrypt, generateKey }

// PASETO Protocol Version v4 specific API
const { V4 } = paseto // { sign, verify, generateKey }

// errors utilized by paseto
const { errors } = paseto

Producing tokens

const { V4: { sign } } = paseto

(async () => {
  {
    const token = await sign({ sub: 'johndoe' }, privateKey)
    // v4.public.eyJzdWIiOiJqb2huZG9lIiwiaWF0IjoiMjAyMS0wOC0wM1QwNTozOTozNy42NzNaIn3AW3ri7P5HpdakJmZvhqssz7Wtzi2Rb3JafwKplLoCWuMkITYOo5KNNR5NMaeAR6ePZ3xWUcbO0R11YLb02awO
  }
})()

Consuming tokens

const { V4: { verify } } = paseto

(async () => {
  {
    const payload = await verify(token, publicKey)
    // { sub: 'johndoe', iat: '2019-07-01T15:22:47.982Z' }
  }
})()
