jwt-generator

A simple command-line utility to encode JSON Web Tokens (JWT).

Usage

The Docker container takes two parameters:

• the secret used for signing the token
• the JSON payload

The JSON payload can be provided as an argument:

docker run --rm orrc/jwt-generator my-shared-secret '{"foo": "bar", "num": 1234}'

Or it can be piped in:

echo '{"foo": "bar", "num": 1234}' | docker run --rm -i orrc/jwt-generator my-shared-secret

The JWT is printed to stdout, followed by a newline.
