JwtAuth

It helps to authenticate devise user using JSON Web Token.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jwt_auth'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jwt_auth

Usage

Install devise user. Right now it only works for 'User'.

Add following code :

# in application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include JwtAuthentication
  #...
end

# in models/user.rb
class User
  include JWTUserAuth
  #...
end

After sign_in devise will return auth_token in JSON object.

Ex:

{
  "id": 1,
  "created_at": "2015-12-01T11:04:26.224Z",
  "email": "*****@gmail.com",
  "updated_at": "2015-12-01T11:07:55.354Z",
  "auth_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1Qi******-CtGZag",
}

After this with each request where authentication is required in headers pass the 'Authorization' which has the same as auth_token received in above json.

Add devise default before filter for authentication.

before_filter :authenticate_user!
