To create a JWT token in Symfony 5, you can use the LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle which provides tools for handling JWT tokens in Symfony applications. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create a JWT token in Symfony 5 using the LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle:
- Install the LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle using Composer:
1
|
composer require lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle |
- Enable the bundle in your config/bundles.php file:
1 2 3 4 |
return [
// ...
LexikBundleJWTAuthenticationBundleLexikJWTAuthenticationBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];
|
- Configure the bundle in your config/packages/lexik_jwt_authentication.yaml file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
lexik_jwt_authentication:
secret_key: '%env(APP_SECRET)%' # Your secret key
public_key: '%env(PUBLIC_KEY_PATH)%' # Path to the public key
private_key: '%env(PRIVATE_KEY_PATH)%' # Path to the private key
pass_phrase: '%env(JWT_PASSPHRASE)%' # Passphrase for the private key
token_ttl: 3600 # Token expiration time
|
- Generate the public and private keys (if you don't already have them): You can generate the keys using the following OpenSSL commands:
1 2 3 4 5 |
# Generate a private key openssl genrsa -out config/jwt/private.pem 4096 # Create the public key openssl rsa -pubout -in config/jwt/private.pem -out config/jwt/public.pem |
- Create a controller action to generate the JWT token:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
use LexikBundleJWTAuthenticationBundleServicesJWTTokenManagerInterface;
public function getToken(JWTTokenManagerInterface $jwtManager)
{
$user = $this->getUser(); // Get the authenticated user
$token = $jwtManager->create($user);
return new JsonResponse(['token' => $token]);
}
|
- You can now call the getToken action to generate a JWT token for the authenticated user.
Please note that this is a basic example of generating a JWT token in Symfony 5. You may need to additional configurations and validations based on your application requirements.
