JWT Auth + Refresh Tokens in Rails

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:

const cheerio = require('cheerio')
const html = `
<ul>
<li>Hello A</li>
<li>Hello B</li>
<li>Hello C</li>
</ul>
`
const $ = cheerio.load(html)

Use Bookshelf with postgis and knex-postgis without the hassle

How to use Bookshelf with postgis and knex-postgis without the hassle

Using Bookshelf.js with postgis and knex-postgis is a huge pain in the ass.

TLDR - Override Bookshelf methods to parse postgis formats in JS, not in SQL to avoid having to do awkward Bookshelf modifications anywhere you make a bookshelf insert/update/delete on Geo data (middleware like approach)

class Event extends Bookshelf.Model {
  get tableName() { return 'event'; }
