Encoding user data

Refer to the examples below on how to encode user data in different programming languages.

Feel free to contact us if you're having trouble or there is a language you would like to see added to the list.

JavaScript/TypeScript

Using jsonwebtoken package.

import jwt from "jsonwebtoken";

const secret = "<YOUR_WIDGET_AUTH_SECRET>";

const user = {
  id: "1",
  name: "John Doe",
  email: "john@example.com",
  customData: {
    key1: "value1",
    key2: "value2",
  },
};

const authToken = jwt.sign(user, secret, {
  algorithm: "HS256",
  expiresIn: "30s",
});

Python

Using PyJWT package.

import jwt
import time

secret = '<YOUR_WIDGET_AUTH_SECRET>'
current_time = int(time.time())

user = {
    "id": "1",
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
     "customData": {
        "key1": "value1",
        "key2": "value2",
    },
    "exp": current_time + 30  # 30 seconds from now
}

auth_token = jwt.encode(user, secret, algorithm='HS256')

Go

Using jwt-go package.

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4"
)

var secret = []byte("<YOUR_WIDGET_AUTH_SECRET>")

type UserClaims struct {
    ID    string `json:"id"`
    Name  string `json:"name"`
    Email string `json:"email"`
    CustomData map[string]string `json:"customData"`
    jwt.RegisteredClaims
}

func main() {
    claims := UserClaims{
        ID:    "1",
        Name:  "John Doe",
        Email: "john@example.com",
        CustomData: map[string]string{
            "key1": "value1",
            "key2": "value2",
        },
        RegisteredClaims: jwt.RegisteredClaims{
            ExpiresAt: jwt.NewNumericDate(time.Now().Add(30 * time.Second)),
        },
    }

    unsignedToken := jwt.NewWithClaims(jwt.SigningMethodHS256, claims)
    token, err := unsignedToken.SignedString(secret)
}
