jwt-auth

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides reusable JWT authentication utilities for FastAPI and Python projects, reducing boilerplate for token generation, verification, and user extraction.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Generate and verify JWT tokens with standard claims (sub, exp, roles) for FastAPI apps.
• Extract authenticated user details via dependencies; support role-based access checks.
• Integrate with existing frontend authentication flows and backend security practices.

Quick Start

Install or import the jwt-auth components into your FastAPI project. Create a token with create_access_token(data={"sub": "user@example.com", "roles": ["admin"]}). Protect endpoints with a dependency that retrieves the current user from the token. For example, define a dependency using get_current_user and apply it to your routes to enforce authentication and RBAC.
