Is this suited for github?

Example using jose with remote JWKS

import { jwtVerify, createRemoteJWKSet } from 'jose'

async function validateToken(token: string) {
try {
const JWKS = createRemoteJWKSet(
new URL('http://localhost:5173/api/auth/jwks')
)
const { payload } = await jwtVerify(token, JWKS, {
issuer: 'http://localhost:5173', // Should match your JWT issuer, which is the BASE_URL
audience: 'http://localhost:5173', // Should match your JWT audience, which is the BASE_URL by default
})
return payload
} catch (error) {
console.error('Token validation failed:', error)
throw error
}
}

// Usage example
const token = 'your.jwt.token' // this is the token you get from the /api/auth/token endpoint
const payload = await validateToken(token)

  • Yes, this is suited for github
