Guardian is a token-based authentication library for Elixir applications, with JSON Web Tokens supported out of the box. It integrates with Plug and Phoenix, including channels/sockets, and supports custom token types via the Guardian.Token behaviour.
Use cases
- add jwt authentication to a phoenix app
- authenticate phoenix channels with tokens
- token-based auth for elixir web endpoints
- issue and verify signed tokens in elixir
- support multiple token configurations in one app
When to choose
- you're building an Elixir or Phoenix app needing token-based authentication
- you need JWT support with customizable claims
- you want auth beyond HTTP, e.g. channels or custom protocols
When to avoid
- you need session-based or OAuth-only authentication flows
- you're not using Elixir
- you want a turnkey hosted identity provider
