zig jwt

[](https://github.com/softprops/zig-jwt/actions/workflows/ci.yml)   [](https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.13.0/)
## 📼 installing
Create a new exec project with `zig init`. Copy an example from the examples directory into your into `src/main.zig`
Create a `build.zig.zon` file to declare a dependency
> .zon short for "zig object notation" files are essentially zig structs. `build.zig.zon` is zigs native package manager convention for where to declare dependencies
Starting in zig 0.12.0, you can use and should prefer
```sh
zig fetch --save https://github.com/softprops/zig-jwt/archive/refs/tags/v0.1.0.tar.gz
```
otherwise, to manually add it, do so as follows
```diff
.{
.name = "my-app",
.version = "0.1.0",
.dependencies = .{
+ // 👇 declare dep properties
+ .jwt = .{
+ // 👇 uri to download
+ .url = "https://github.com/softprops/zig-jwt/archive/refs/tags/v0.1.0.tar.gz",
+ // 👇 hash verification
+ .hash = "...",
+ },
},
}
```
> the hash below may vary. you can also depend any tag with `https://github.com/softprops/zig-jwt/archive/refs/tags/v{version}.tar.gz` or current main with `https://github.com/softprops/zig-jwt/archive/refs/heads/main/main.tar.gz`. to resolve a hash omit it and let zig tell you the expected value.
Add the following in your `build.zig` file
```diff
const std = @import("std");
pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});
// 👇 de-reference dep from build.zig.zon
+ const jwt = b.dependency("jwt", .{
+ .target = target,
+ .optimize = optimize,
+ }).module("jwt");
var exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "your-exe",
.root_source_file = .{ .path = "src/main.zig" },
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
// 👇 add the module to executable
+ exe.root_mode.addImport("jwt", jwt);
b.installArtifact(exe);
}
```
