This project demonstrates one implementation of JWT authorization by customizing the Ember Simple Auth add-on. To learn more, check out my blog post on this project. You can also check out the deployed version of this project on heroku.
The custom authenticator is defined in app/authenticators/jwt.js. It extends ESA's base authenticator and hits an enpoint of a Rails API that uses Knock to implement JWT authentication.
The custom authorizer is defined in app/authorizers/custom.js. It sets the Authentication header of outgoing requests to Bearer <jwt token>, the format expected by Knock on the backend.
