API Guard

Handles JWT issuance, automatic refreshing, and blacklisting out-of-the-box, providing a secure authentication lifecycle without extra coding, as detailed in the token refreshing and blacklisting sections.

Offers generators for models, routes, and controllers with a convention-over-configuration approach, making setup quick within Rails applications, evidenced by the simple api_guard_routes helper.

Allows overriding default controllers and adding custom data to JWT payloads via methods like jwt_token_payload, enabling tailored authentication logic without forking the gem.

Includes helper methods like jwt_and_refresh_token for generating tokens in test environments, simplifying authentication testing for controllers, as mentioned in the testing section.
