RA.Utilities.Authentication.JwtBearer

Version 10.0.0

Updated the project version from 10.0.0-rc.2 to the stable release version 10.0.0 in preparation for a production release.

Version 10.0.0-rc.2

This release modernizes the RA.Utilities.Authentication.JwtBearer package, providing a streamlined, configuration-driven approach to setting up JWT Bearer authentication in ASP.NET Core applications.

✨ New Features & Improvements

• Configuration-Driven Setup:

  • Introduced the AddJwtBearerAuthentication() extension method, which configures JWT Bearer authentication by reading settings directly from the Authentication:Schemes:Bearer section in appsettings.json.
  • Eliminates hardcoded values and boilerplate code in Program.cs.

• Smart Configuration Handling:

  • Automatically converts ClockSkewInSeconds from your configuration into a TimeSpan.
  • Automatically converts IssuerSigningKeyString into a SymmetricSecurityKey, simplifying the setup for self-issued tokens.

• Convenience UseAuth() Method:

  • Includes a UseAuth() extension method that registers both app.UseAuthentication() and app.UseAuthorization() with a single call.

• Updated Documentation:

  • The README.md has been updated to provide clear, step-by-step instructions and a complete appsettings.json example.

🚀 Getting Started

Register the services in your Program.cs:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddJwtBearerAuthentication(builder.Configuration);

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuth();
```nfiguration Handling**:
    *   Automatically converts `ClockSkewInSeconds` from your configuration into a `TimeSpan`.
    *   Automatically converts `IssuerSigningKeyString` into a `SymmetricSecurityKey`, simplifying the setup for self-issued tokens.

*   **Convenience `UseAuth()` Method**:
    *   Includes a `UseAuth()` extension method that registers both `app.UseAuthentication()` and `app.UseAuthorization()` with a single call.

*   **Updated Documentation**:
    *   The `README.md` has been updated to provide clear, step-by-step instructions and a complete `appsettings.json` example.

### 🚀 Getting Started

Register the services in your `Program.cs`:

```csharp
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddJwtBearerAuthentication(builder.Configuration);

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuth();
