Usage

Import the framework

import JWTDecode

Decode the token

let jwt = try decode(jwt: token)    

JWT Parts

Header dictionary

jwt.header

Claims in token body

jwt.body

Token signature

jwt.signature

Registered Claims

• "aud" (Audience)

jwt.audience

• "sub" (Subject)

jwt.subject

• "jti" (JWT ID)

jwt.identifier

• "iss" (Issuer)

jwt.issuer

• "nbf" (Not Before)

jwt.notBefore

• "iat" (Issued At)

jwt.issuedAt

• "exp" (Expiration Time)

jwt.expiresAt

Custom Claims

If we also have our custom claims we can retrive them calling claim(name: String) -> Claim then you can try converting the value like:

let claim = jwt.claim(name: "email")
if let email = claim.string {
    print("Email in jwt was \(email)")
}

The supported conversions are:

var string: String?
var boolean: Bool?
var integer: Int?
var double: Double?
var date: NSDate?
var array: [String]?

You can easily add a convenience accessor for a custom claim by adding an extension:

extension JWT {
    var myClaim: String? {
        return claim(name: "my_claim").string
    }
}

Error Handling

If the token is invalid an NSError will be thrown from the decode(token) function:

catch let error as NSError {
    error.localizedDescription
}

What is Auth0?

Auth0 helps you to:

• Add authentication with multiple sources, either social identity providers such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce (amongst others), or enterprise identity systems like Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS, or any SAML Identity Provider.
• Add authentication through more traditional username/password databases.
• Add support for linking different user accounts with the same user.
• Support for generating signed JSON Web Tokens to call your APIs and flow the user identity securely.
• Analytics of how, when, and where users are logging in.
• Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile through JavaScript rules.

Create a Free Auth0 Account

1. Go to Auth0 and click Sign Up.
2. Use Google, GitHub, or Microsoft Account to login.
