JWT Auth + Refresh Tokens in Rails

This is just some code I recently used in my development application in order to add token-based authentication for my api-only rails app. The api-client was to be consumed by a mobile application, so I needed an authentication solution that would keep the user logged in indefinetly and the only way to do this was either using refresh tokens or sliding sessions.

I also needed a way to both blacklist and whitelist tokens based on a unique identifier (jti)

Before trying it out DIY, I considered using:

Rhoxio

source ~/.bashrc
# echo is like puts for bash (bash is the program running in your terminal)
echo "Loading ~/.bash_profile a shell script that runs in every new terminal you open"

# $VARIABLE will render before the rest of the command is executed
echo "Logged in as $USER at $(hostname)"

# Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
# Path for RVM
