express-jwt-verify

JSON Web Token middleware for expressJS that verifies that the token is valid.

This is mainly a school assignment at Blekinge Institute of Technology.

Install

npm install express-jwt-verify --save

Usage

var jwtMiddleware = require('express-jwt-verify');

var protectedRoutes = express.Router();

app.use('/protected', protectedRoutes);

protectedRoutes.use(jwtMiddleware('mysecret'));

protectedRoutes.get('/decoded', function(req, res) {
    res.json(req.decoded);
});

If the verification succeeds it will the pass decoded token with the request (req.decoded) and if it fails it sends a HTTP 403 status and a JSON-body with information.

Theese options can be passed to the verify function:
