<p>Part of the <strong>WRNexusJS</strong> framework — an SSR-first, Bun-native full-stack web framework.</p>
<h3 id="overview">Overview</h3>
<p><code>@wrnexus/jwt</code> signs and verifies stateless JSON Web Tokens using the <strong>HS256</strong> (HMAC-SHA-256) algorithm. It has no runtime dependencies — signing and verification are implemented directly on the standard <strong>Web Crypto</strong> API (<code>crypto.subtle</code>), which Bun provides natively. It runs server-side and pairs with the session-based auth in <code>@wrnexus/core</code>, giving you a stateless option for API and mobile clients. Reach for it when you need bearer-token auth rather than cookie sessions.</p>
<pre data-language="bash"><code>bun add @wrnexus/jwt</code></pre>
<blockquote>Private package — the machine must be authenticated to the <code>wrnexus</code> npm org</blockquote>
<blockquote>(a read token in <code>~/.npmrc</code>). Requires <strong>Bun</strong> (Node is not supported).</blockquote>
<h3 id="api">API</h3>
<p>Single entry point (<code>@wrnexus/jwt</code>). All functions are async and return Promises.</p>

<h4 id="signjwt-payload-secret-options"><code>signJwt(payload, secret, options?)</code></h4>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>function signJwt(payload: JwtClaims, secret: string, options?: SignOptions): Promise&lt;string&gt;;</code></pre>
<p>Signs <code>payload</code> with <code>secret</code> using HS256 and returns the encoded token (<code>header.body.signature</code>). An <code>iat</code> (issued-at) claim is always added.</p>
<p><code>SignOptions</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>expiresIn?: number</code> — seconds until expiry; sets the <code>exp</code> claim.</li>
<li><code>now?: number</code> — override the issued-at time (seconds), useful for testing.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="verifyjwt-t-token-secret-options"><code>verifyJwt&lt;T&gt;(token, secret, options?)</code></h4>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>function verifyJwt&lt;T extends JwtClaims = JwtClaims&gt;(
token: string,
secret: string,
options?: &#123; now?: number &#125;,
): Promise&lt;T&gt;;</code></pre>
<p>Verifies the HS256 signature and returns the decoded claims typed as <code>T</code>. Throws <code>JwtError</code> when the token is malformed, the signature is invalid, the payload is not valid JSON, the token is expired (<code>exp</code>), or not yet valid (<code>nbf</code>). Pass <code>now</code> (seconds) to override the reference time for the <code>exp</code>/<code>nbf</code> checks.</p>
<h4 id="jwtauth-options"><code>jwtAuth(options)</code></h4>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>function jwtAuth(options: JwtAuthOptions): Middleware;</code></pre>
<p>Returns a WRNexusJS <code>Middleware</code> that reads a token, verifies it, and assigns the claims to <code>ctx.user</code>.</p>
<p><code>JwtAuthOptions</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>secret: string</code> — the HMAC secret used to verify tokens.</li>
<li><code>getToken?: (ctx: Context) =&gt; string | undefined</code> — how to extract the token.</li>
<p>Defaults to reading <code>Authorization: Bearer &lt;token&gt;</code>.</p>
<li><code>required?: boolean</code> — when <code>true</code> (default), a missing or invalid token</li>
<p>responds with <code>401 &#123; ok: false, error: &quot;Unauthorized&quot; &#125;</code>. When <code>false</code>, requests pass through and <code>ctx.user</code> is only set if a valid token is present.</p>
</ul>
<h3 id="usage">Usage</h3>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>import &#123; signJwt, verifyJwt, jwtAuth, JwtError &#125; from &quot;@wrnexus/jwt&quot;;
const secret = process.env.JWT_SECRET!;
// Sign a token that expires in one hour
const token = await signJwt(&#123; sub: user.id, role: &quot;admin&quot; &#125;, secret, &#123;
expiresIn: 3600,
&#125;);
// Verify it later
try &#123;
const claims = await verifyJwt&lt;&#123; sub: string; role: string &#125;&gt;(token, secret);
console.log(claims.sub, claims.role);
&#125; catch (err) &#123;
if (err instanceof JwtError) &#123;
// invalid signature, expired, malformed, etc.
&#125;
&#125;</code></pre>
<p>Protecting routes with the middleware:</p>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>import &#123; jwtAuth &#125; from &quot;@wrnexus/jwt&quot;;
// Require a valid bearer token; ctx.user holds the verified claims
app.use(jwtAuth(&#123; secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET! &#125;));
// Optional auth — populate ctx.user when present, but don't 401
app.use(jwtAuth(&#123; secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET!, required: false &#125;));</code></pre>
<h3 id="requirements-notes">Requirements / Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bun-only.</strong> Uses the standard Web Crypto API (<code>crypto.subtle.importKey</code>,</li>
<p><code>sign</code>, <code>verify</code>) plus <code>btoa</code>/<code>atob</code> and <code>TextEncoder</code>/<code>TextDecoder</code> — all provided by Bun. No third-party crypto dependency.</p>
<li><strong>Algorithm:</strong> HS256 (HMAC with SHA-256) only. Asymmetric algorithms (RS/ES)</li>
<p>are not supported.</p>
<li>Integrates with [<code>@wrnexus/core</code>](../core) for <code>Context</code>, <code>Middleware</code>, and</li>
<p><code>ctx.user</code>; it complements the framework's cookie/session auth with a stateless bearer-token flow for API and mobile clients.</p>
