An express middleware for jsonwebtoken.
npm install express-jwt-middlewareIt has build for validate and decode jwt token (which is created by https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonwebtoken library) at middleware level.
npm install express-jwt-middleware --save
Usage
You can use it both app level and route level. You will get your decoded token data in request object as "req.tokenData".
const jwtMiddleware = require('express-jwt-middleware');
var jwtCheck = jwtMiddleware('secretkey')
app.get('/', jwtCheck, (req, res) => {
res.send(req.tokenData);
});
$3
You can pass string or object as parameter. If you pass string, code will be assume that it's your
secret key for jwt.Or you can send options object as:
var options = {
cert : // If you create your jwt with a private key you need to add pem file path here
secret : // Secret key for your jwt,
..anyJWTOptions // For more details please check https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonwebtoken
}
var jwtCheck = jwtMiddleware(options)
app.get('/', jwtCheck, (req, res) => {
res.send(req.tokenData);
});
If you set 'cert' and 'secret' at the same time, 'secret' will be used for jwt decode process. Please use correct one.
