node-doix-http-cookie-jwt is a plug in for the doix framework providing an HTTP cookie based session mechanism using JSON Web Tokens.

Here, the whole user information record (seen as this.user in each Job instance) is completely included in the cookie value as the sub property of the JSON Web Token's claim.

Installation

npm install doix-http-cookie-jwt

const {CookieJWT} = require ('doix-http-cookie-jwt')

const sessionProvider = new CookieJWT ({
  //  name: 'sid',

  //  claim: {},
  //  sign: {},
  //  verify: {},
})

// sessionProvider.getPrivateKey = async () => {...}
// sessionProvider.getPublicKey  = async () => {...}
