Standalone usage? #39

Closed dantman closed 3 years ago

dantman commented 4 years ago

lua-resty-jwt is the only JWT library for Lua listed on jwt.io?

The library seems to be designed for use in the Nginx Lua plugin.

Is this library usable as a standalone jwt library for Lua, outside of nginx?

Sure it can be used outside of Nginx. However it depends on some OpenResty packages. It works fine using the "resty" command line tool to load the lua-script instead of lua/luajit.

You can probably collect all dependencies on your own via luarocks etc and fire up a standalone version. I haven't tried though.
