jwt

A sample extension that demonstrates how to verify and sign JWTs in Go.

What's in the sample

A panel that display a button. When the button is clicked, the frontend makes an AJAX call to /api/ping with the Twitch-signed JWT in the headers. The EBS verifies the request's JWT and follows up by signing its own JWT.
The EBS then sends the message pong via PubSub with the EBS-signed JWT in the headers. The frontend listens for incoming PubSub messages and outputs pong in the console.

Requirements

• Go 1.10+ with dep for package management.
• OpenSSL. If on Windows, you can install Git which bundles it.

Installation

The recommended path to using this sample is with the Developer Rig.

1. Clone the repo: go get github.com/twitchdev/extensions-samples/jwt
2. Install dependencies: dep ensure
3. Generate certs for the EBS: openssl req -nodes -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days XXX -subj '/CN=localhost'
4. Set clientID and ownerID variables in main.go

Usage

1. Host the frontend via the Rig and watch its console: you should see the Twitch-signed JWT printed.
2. Compile the EBS: go build
3. Run the EBS: ./jwt -secret=<EXTENSION_SECRET>
4. Click the "Pong" button.
5. Watch the EBS console: you should see the EBS-signed JWT printed.
6. You should see "pong" in the Rig console. This means that it has received the PubSub message from the EBS.
