# Easily decode JWT
This lightweight PHP library helps you decode and verify JSON Web Tokens easily.
```php
$payload = JWTDecoder::token($jwt)
->withKey($publicKey)
->decode();
```
## Installation
You can install the library via composer:
```bash
composer require musa11971/php-jwt-decoder
```
## Usage
### Basic decoding
Pass on your JWT and (public) key (e.g. PEM) as strings.
```php
$payload = JWTDecoder::token($jwt)
->withKey($key)
->decode();
```
### Decoding with multiple keys
You may have multiple potential keys, one of which is the correct one for the JWT. This library allows you to simply pass on all the keys, and it will try every key until the signature is verified.
Do note that if none of the keys are correct, you will be met with an exception.
```php
$keys = [...]; // Array of keys
$payload = JWTDecoder::token($jwt)
->withKeys($keys)
->decode();
```
### Ignoring the token expiry time
By default, the library will check the token's expiry time ([exp](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.4)) if it is present. However, if (for whatever reason) you wish to ignore the expiry time, you can use the following option.
```php
$payload = JWTDecoder::token($jwt)
->withKey($key)
->ignoreExpiry()
->decode();
```
### Ignoring the token 'not valid before' time
Similarly to the `ignoreExpiry` option, you can also ignore the 'not valid before' time of the token ([nbf](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.5)).
```php
$payload = JWTDecoder::token($jwt)
->withKey($key)
->ignoreNotValidBefore()
->decode();
```
### Working with the payload
The decoder always returns a `JWTPayload` instance. Use this object to access the data in the payload.
**Check if payload has a value**
```php
$payload->has('username'); // true
$payload->has('date_of_birth'); // false
```
**Get a value from the payload**
```php
$payload->get('username'); // 'John'
```
**Convert a payload to an array**
```php
$payload->toArray();
/*
* [
* 'username' => 'John',
* 'email' => 'john@example.com',
* 'sub' => '1234567890',
* 'iat' => 1516239022,
* 'exp' => 1516243210
* ]
*/
```
### Testing
``` bash
composer test
```
