JWT Templates

At Clerk, we love GraphQL. Fauna combines the flexibility of NoSQL systems with the relational querying capabilities of SQL databases into a modern, developer-friendly, transactional database with GraphQL support.

Custom claims

Our template is pre-populated with the default claims required by Fauna, but we make it easy to include additional claims or modify them as necessary.

Shortcodes

Shortcodes are special strings that are substituted for their corresponding values during token generation. Shortcodes are typically used to refer to data that depend on the currently authenticated user.

Fewer Resources

GraphQL allows for multiple resource requests in a single query call. This saves time and bandwidth by decreasing the amount of necessary network calls.
