Functions

func Create

func Create(user string, s time.Duration) string

Create a new token, that uses a short lifetime, think one request. WARNING: It should only be used to establish the websocket connection once, because we can't revoke and don't check for deleted users.

Types

type EpinioClaims

type EpinioClaims struct {
	jwt.RegisteredClaims
	Username string `json:"user"`
}

EpinioClaims are the values we store in the JWT

func Validate
