The hyrumtoken Go package encrypts pagination tokens, preventing API clients from depending on their contents. It is used to avoid common issues related to manual management of pagination. The motivation behind Hyrum’s Law is explained through a personal anecdote about the challenges of implementing pagination. Encrypted pagination tokens prevent users from creating their own tokens, inferring data positions, and breaking software due to changes in token structure. Advanced usage includes expiring tokens and rotating keys for enhanced security. The package utilizes NaCL’s secretbox for encryption and offers flexibility in switching between pagination schemes. Overall, hyrumtoken ensures secure and reliable pagination management.
