Let’s drop in a quick test to check everything works:Ĭlass DecodeAuthenticationCommand < BaseCommand private attr_reader :headers def = nil end def payload return unless = user if userĮnd def ||= User. We’ll simply opt to returnīig thank you to Ylan Segal for pointing reserved claims out to me! When that is set to a timestamp, and it is past that timestamp, JWT will raise this exception. JSON Web Tokens have some reserved “claims” (keys) - one of those is the expĬlaim. Note that we’re rescuing from JWT::ExpiredSignature. We’re also wrapping it in a HashWithIndifferentAccess - JWT returns hashes that are string-keyed, but I guarantee you that one of us will forget about that later and spend a good long while getting mad. Notice how in decode we’re skipping the second part of what JWT.decode returns - the second part is the header, and we’re not really interested in that. We’ll just use the secret_key_base as our secret - it’s used for cookie signing in regular apps, so it makes sense here. Rescue JWT :: ExpiredSignature nil end end That’s all we need to create a very simple User:Ĭlass JwtService def self. I’ll lock mine to 3.1.11, but in the future the newest applicable version may of course change. Make sure gem 'bcrypt' is in your Gemfile, because it is required. Rails 4 added the has_secure_password helper to ActiveRecord models, so we’ll use that to extract some pain out of managing passwords. That’s right, remove that gem 'devise' from your Gemfile please. Since this is a very simple app - and we’re learning, so we want to do as much of this by hand as possible! - we’re not going to use anything ready-made. We need to create a User model and all the stuff around it.
It happens in almost every Rails project. It’s called, somewhat unimaginatively for a Ruby gem, jwt. Thankfully, there’s a Ruby gem to deal with a lot of this for us. A signature is calculated using the HMAC-SHA256 algorithm without going too deep into the implementation of this, it’s a hash that’s signed with a server-side secret, so the server can verify that it was indeed the one to produce a token.
I keep stressing this across this whole series of articles, but I feel this bears repeating: anything that can parse JSON should be able to use our app.įor the above reasons we will use JSON Web Tokens for passing around credentials in our app.
The credentials are checked against a list (e.g.You’re probably familiar how a simple authentication flow might work in a “regular” Rails app: “And why do we even need it?" are two questions you might be asking yourself right now.
