1. Knock

   In 2019 I wrote a post with this same subject and an extra tool: Knock.

3. zeitwerk

   2 11 2,070 8.5 Ruby

   Efficient and thread-safe code loader for Ruby

   

   With a few modifications in the gem source code, we could easily integrate Auth0 into our Rails API, but that on Rails 5. Rails 6 brought Zeitwerk code loader together, which makes it harder to perform the alterations suggested in my previous post.

4. HTTP

   3 6 3,024 6.4 Ruby

   HTTP (The Gem! a.k.a. http.rb) - a fast Ruby HTTP client with a chainable API, streaming support, and timeouts

   

   Everything will be created under the class Auth0, and it'll be using HTTP gem to perform the quests, but feel free to decide over your code organization and tools.

5. JWT

   4 9 3,655 8.8 Ruby

   A ruby implementation of the RFC 7519 OAuth JSON Web Token (JWT) standard.

   

   Decoding JWTs is simple whit the help of an already implemented solution. In this section, I'll be using the ruby-jwt.
