+# jsonwebtoken-promisified
+
+A small wrapper around `jsonwebtoken` that adds promisified methods, as a regular `promisifyAll` is not going to work due to its strange callback format. This is a temporary fix - the next major release of `jsonwebtoken` [should resolve the issue](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken/issues/169#issuecomment-184660817).
+
+Synchronous errors are turned into rejected Promises, so that solves that issue as well. Keep in mind that in most modes of operation, `jsonwebtoken` operates synchronously to begin with - this module exists primarily to make its behaviour consistent.
+
+__Important:__ This module will *mutate* the instance of `jsonwebtoken` that it uses, as is necessary for promisification - however, it does not modify any existing methods, it only *adds* two methtods. As long as you do not attempt to separately promisify the `jsonwebtoken` module directly, this should not pose a problem.

+## Contributing
+
+Pull requests welcome. Please make sure your modifications are in line with the overall code style, and ensure that you're editing the files in `src/`, not those in `lib/`.

+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var Promise = require("bluebird");
+var jwt = require("jsonwebtoken-promisified");
+
+Promise.try(function() {
+	return jwt.signAsync({foo: "bar"}, "secretKey");
+}).then(function(token) {
+	console.log("Signed token:", token);
+})
+```
+
+## API
+
+### jwt.signAsync(payload, secretOrPrivateKey, [options])
+
+Like `jwt.sign`, but returns a Promise. [Documentation here](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken#jwtsignpayload-secretorprivatekey-options-callback).
+
+### jwt.verifyAsync(payload, secretOrPrivateKey, options)
+
+Like `jwt.verify`, but returns a Promise. [Documentation here](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken#jwtverifytoken-secretorpublickey-options-callback).
+
+### jwt.sign
+### jwt.verify
+### jwt.decode
+### TokenExpiredError
+### JsonWebTokenError
+
+Like [their `jsonwebtoken` counterparts](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken#usage).
