"main": "aurelia-plugins-jwt-decode"

It is not necessary to load the plugin inside of the configure method of your main.js or main.ts, because this plugin doesn't use any dependencies of Aurelia. The only thing you need to be sure of, is that the library is loaded in your project.
The plugin is used as a class with static methods. No dependency injection is necessary. Just import it in your own class.
The following method is provided:
`javascript
import {JwtDecode} from 'aurelia-plugins-jwt-decode';
export class App {
// Returns the deserialized value (object) of the given token
JwtDecode.decode(token, [options]);
}
`
A boolean indicating if the header part of the JWT is not present. By default the header option is false, and present.
This example uses the default option because the token contains besides the payload also the header and the signature.
`javascript
const token = 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiYWRtaW4iOnRydWV9.TJVA95OrM7E2cBab30RMHrHDcEfxjoYZgeFONFh7HgQ';
JwtDecode.decode(token);
`
The following example has a token which only contains a payload. Use the option header: true to decode the token which has no header.
`javascript
const token = 'eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiYWRtaW4iOnRydWV9';
JwtDecode.decode(token, { header: true });
