Authex
Authex is a simple JWT authentication and authorization library for Elixir.
Installation
The package can be installed by adding authex
to your list of dependencies in mix.exs
:

]
end
Documentation
See HexDocs for additional documentation.
Example
To get started, we must define our auth module:
defmodule MyApp.Auth do
use Authex, opt_app: :my_app
end
We can then create, sign, and verify tokens:
token = MyApp.Auth.token(sub: 1, scopes: ["admin/read"])
compact_token = MyApp.Auth.sign(token)
{:ok, token} = MyApp.Auth.verify(compact_token)
Please check out the documentation for more advanced features like serializers, repositories and integration with plugs.
Features
- Easy to integrate with almost any app.
- Handles both authentication + authorization.
- Compatible with umbrella apps.
- Convert data to and from tokens via serializers.
- Handle persistence for things like blacklists.
- Batteries included for plug integration.
