Hello good people 
I’m trying to create JWT’s with dynamic config using Joken (i.e I have zero config in my config.exs).
One similar issue I saw was that the person wasn’t sending the token_config to the Joken.generate_and_sign function, but based on various examples you can send an empty map. Or I’m missing something.
Here is my code:
claims = %{}
|> Joken.Config.add_claim("iss", fn -> iss end, &(&1 == iss))
|> Joken.Config.add_claim("sub", fn -> iss end, &(&1 == sub))
|> Joken.Config.add_claim("aud", fn -> iss end, &(&1 == aud))
|> Joken.Config.add_claim("iat", fn -> iss end, &(&1 == iat))
|> Joken.Config.add_claim("exp", fn -> iss end, &(&1 == exp))
signer = Joken.Signer.create("RS256", %{"pem" => key}, %{"kid" => kid})
{:ok, token, _claims} = Joken.generate_and_sign(%{}, token_config, claims, signer)
IO.inspect token
FWIW I’m trying to create a token from a Google service_account blob (not file), so…maybe I’m doing it all wrong?
I’d appreciate any help

Oh, I never added the error…

Haven’t researched that library but it seems that something is trying to iterate on that struct and falls because it’s not a list.

Yeah it looks like
Joken.generate_and_signexpects thesignerarg to be the third argument and you have fourth:The map you’re putting in the first argument doesn’t seem to be necessary, maybe?

Thanks I figured it out eventually, heh. I turned the claims into a simple map, and then used this:
Worked fine, got my token, could finally go sleep
