Orbit JWT Helper

Orbit-Jwt is a helper library for working with JWTs in your Angular applications.

orbit-jwt is a small and unopinionated library that is useful for automatically attaching a JSON Web Token (JWT) as an Authorization header when making HTTP requests from an Angular 10+ app. It also has a number of helper methods that are useful for doing things like decoding JWTs.

This library does not have any functionality for (or opinion about) implementing user authentication and retrieving JWTs to begin with. Those details will vary depending on your setup, but in most cases, you will use a regular HTTP request to authenticate your users and then save their JWTs in local storage or in a cookie if successful.

Note: This library can only be used with Angular 4.3 and higher because it relies on an HttpInterceptor from Angular’s HttpClient. This feature is not available on lower versions.
