Use this class to generate a token for authenticating the Layer SDK
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'layer-identity_token'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install layer-identity_token
- Create a layer app
- Write down your
provider ID
(app's info tab) - Create a new private key (app's authentication tab – we recommend to create keys for each developer and/or environments like: staging, development)
- Save the
private key
and note thekey ID
token = Layer::IdentityToken.new(user_id, nonce, optional_expires_at)
token.encode
If you want to return this token as JSON and your framework (like Rails) uses #as_json
you just write a controller like:
class ApiController
def hello_layer
token = Layer::IdentityToken.new(current_user.id, params[:nonce])
render json: token
end
end
Per default the class looks for ENV variables like:
LAYER_PROVIDER_ID
LAYER_KEY_ID
LAYER_PRIVATE_KEY
If you can not set ENV variables you can also set them on the class directly:
Layer::IdentityToken.layer_provider_id = "provider_id"
Layer::IdentityToken.layer_key_id = "key_id"
Layer::IdentityToken.layer_private_key = "private_key"
