(JavaScript) Create JWT Using Ed25519 Private Key (EdDSA)

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.95 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Demonstrates how to create a JWT using an Ed25519 private key.

var privKey = new CkPrivateKey();

// Load an Ed25519 (EdDSA) private key from a PEM file.
success = privKey.LoadPemFile("qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(privKey.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var jwt = new CkJwt();

// Build the JOSE header
var jose = new CkJsonObject();

// -----------------------------------------------------------------
// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.95 or greater.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------
success = jose.AppendString("alg","EdDSA");
success = jose.AppendString("typ","JWT");

// Now build the JWT claims (also known as the payload)
var claims = new CkJsonObject();
success = claims.AppendString("iss","http://example.org");
success = claims.AppendString("sub","John");
success = claims.AppendString("aud","http://example.com");

// (optional) Set the timestamp of when the JWT was created to now.
var curDateTime = jwt.GenNumericDate(0);
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"iat",curDateTime);

// (optional)  Set the "not process before" timestamp to now.
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"nbf",curDateTime);

// (optional)  Set the timestamp defining an expiration time (end time) for the token
// to be now + 1 hour (3600 seconds)
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"exp",curDateTime+3600);

// Produce the smallest possible JWT:
jwt.AutoCompact = true;

// Create the JWT token.
var token = jwt.CreateJwtPk(jose.Emit(),claims.Emit(),privKey);

console.log(token);

// Example output:
