Consider switching to fast-jwt for performance #6

Closed rmuchall closed 2 months ago

rmuchall commented 2 years ago

The dependency jsonwebtoken was deprecated by its author and the repository has been taken over by auth0. Although they've stated they have no plans to deprecate the library it appears to be in maintenance mode. Perhaps consider switching to fast-jwt which fastify is currently migrating to.

See: https://github.com/nearform/fast-jwt https://github.com/fastify/fastify-jwt/pull/184

Are there any benefits besides performance?

rmuchall commented 2 years ago

Only that it appears to be more actively maintained (because it's a newer implementation).

Ratstail91 commented 2 years ago

I see, thanks. This is a larger undertaking than it seems - the whole engine needs to be updated. Pretty much every server, and the front-end, uses the JWT in some way.

So it's definitely something I want to do, just gonna take time.

rmuchall commented 2 years ago

No problem. It was just a suggestion. I just opened these issues because like you I've coded my own auth server and encountered these things during its development so thought I'd share :) Best of luck with your game project!

This is stale, closing.

It seems auth0 didn't end up deprecating this library, thankfully.
