Paseto

This is the PASETO middleware for Hertz framework.

Paseto is everything you love about JOSE (JWT, JWE, JWS) without any of the many design deficits that plague the JOSE standards.

This is the PASETO middleware for Hertz framework.

Options

Option	Default	Description
Next	nil	Used to define a function to skip this middleware when returned true
ErrorHandler	output log and response 401	Used to define a function which is executed when an error occurs
SuccessHandler	save the claims to app.RequestContext	Used to define a function which is executed when the token is valid
KeyLookup	header:Authorization	Used to define a string in the form of “:” that is used to create an Extractor that extracts the token from the request
TokenPrefix	""	Used to define a string that holds the prefix for the token lookup
ParseFunc	parse V4 Public Token	Used to parse and verify token

WithNext sets a function to judge whether to skip this middleware.
