Here's how to write a JWT middleware function in ExpressJS using the jsonwebtoken
library:
index.tsx494 chars21 lines
This middleware checks if a JWT is present in the Authorization
header. If it is, the token is verified using the secret key stored in the environment variable JWT_SECRET
. If the token is valid, the decoded user information is attached to the request object and the request is passed on to the next middleware. If the token is invalid, a 401 unauthorized error is returned.
