📚 Description

Resolves #17.

The following JWT utilities will be available with this PR (migrated from unjwt):

• signJWT
• verifyJWT
• decodeJWT

I have kept the code as simple as possible to cover the basic needs for JWT signing, verification and decoding. Method parameters have a balance between sensible defaults and customization.

Example usage:

import { decodeJWT, signJWT, verifyJWT } from 'uncrypto/jwt'

interface JWTUserClaims {
  email: string
}

const secret = 'secret'
const issuer = 'https://domain.com'

// Sign a JWT
const accessToken = await signJWT<JWTUserClaims>({
  payload: {
    email: 'user@domain.com'
  },
  secret,
  issuer,
  audience: issuer,
})

// Verify a JWT
try {
  const verifiedAccessToken = await verifyJWT({
    token: accessToken,
    secret,
    issuer,
    audience: issuer
  })
}
catch (error) {
  // Handle error
  console.error(error)
}

// Decode a JWT – does not verify the signature
const decodedAccessToken = await decodeJWT<JWTUserClaims>(accessToken)
console.log(decodedAccessToken.email)

Please verify if the general direction of this PR makes sense to you. If you, I'm willing to add tests as best as I can.

Notes

• I had to rename crypto.web and crypto.node to crypto-web, respectively crypto-node, because unbuild v2 complained about the file extensions.
• No tests added yet. I have used these utils for a while now in some Nuxt projects and published them as unjwt package – explicitly without uncrypto, since I rely on unenv to resolve the usage von the Web Crypto API.
• In one project which used jose, I successfully migrated to these new utilities. No user got logged out. 😋

Questions

• atob and btoa are available in latest Node and worker versions, so I haven't added any usage of buffer. Is that OK for you?

@pi0 Here it is, again! Feel free to rename methods, move methods around – I'm happy to learn from your methodology.
