``js const sign = require('jwt-encode'); const secret = 'secret'; const data = { sub: '1234567890', name: 'John Doe', iat: 1516239022 }; const jwt = sign(data, secret); console.log(jwt); //'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.XbPfbIHMI6arZ3Y922BhjWgQzWXcXNrz0ogtVhfEd2o'`
