Go JWT Authorization in Go Parsing the error types using bitfield checks
Example
// Token from another example. This token is expired
var tokenString = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmb28iOiJiYXIiLCJleHAiOjE1MDAwLCJpc3MiOiJ0ZXN0In0.HE7fK0xOQwFEr4WDgRWj4teRPZ6i3GLwD5YCm6Pwu_c"
token, err := jwt.Parse(tokenString, func(token *jwt.Token) (interface{}, error) {
return []byte("AllYourBase"), nil
})
if token.Valid {
fmt.Println("You look nice today")
} else if ve, ok := err.(*jwt.ValidationError); ok {
if ve.Errors&jwt.ValidationErrorMalformed != 0 {
fmt.Println("That's not even a token")
} else if ve.Errors&(jwt.ValidationErrorExpired|jwt.ValidationErrorNotValidYet) != 0 {
// Token is either expired or not active yet
fmt.Println("Timing is everything")
} else {
fmt.Println("Couldn't handle this token:", err)
}
} else {
fmt.Println("Couldn't handle this token:", err)
}
Output:
Timing is everything
