JWT powered User for Yii 2

JWT (JSON Web Token) based Yii 2 User component drop-in replacement.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

composer require "sergeymakinen/yii2-jwt-user:^3.0"

or add

"sergeymakinen/yii2-jwt-user": "^3.0"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

Set the following Yii 2 configuration parameters:

[
    'components' => [
        'user' => [
            'class' => 'sergeymakinen\yii\jwtuser\User',
            'identityClass' => 'app\models\User',
            'enableAutoLogin' => true, // Optional
            'key' => 'random sign key (CHANGE IT!)',
        ],
    ],
]

Also set identityClass to whatever your identity class name is.

Don't forget: set key to some random value and make sure it's secret and long enough.

Configuration

You can choose between 3 different modes of sign key generation:

Your choice depends on how you're going to use identities, revoke old/compromised keys.

It's also possible to specify "audience" and "issuer" claims (and validate against them) via corresponding $audience and $issuer properties. They both may be either strings or Closure returning a string.
