Phalcon JWT best practices

Hello.

I was wondering how you guys have implementet JWT in your application. The way i have done it, is by adding a beforeDispatch, that runs this code:

if (!isset($headers["Authorization"]) || empty($headers["Authorization"])) {
        //devolvemos un 403, Forbidden
        $response->setStatusCode(403, "Forbidden");
        $response->send();
        die();
    }

    $token = explode(" ", $headers["Authorization"]);
    $token = trim($token[1], '"');

    try {
        JWT::$leeway = 60; // 60 seconds
        $user = JWT::decode($token, $this->jwt_key, array('HS256'));
    } catch (\Firebase\JWT\ExpiredException $e) {
        $response->setStatusCode(405, $e->getMessage());
        $response->send();
        die();
    }

This code is implemented in my module, as an event.

My question is, what is the best way to setup JWT for phalcon, maybe you have done this in a much smarter way?
