I\'m using JWT (\"jsonwebtoken\": \"^5.4.0\")
with express 4 and jade.
I\'m able to create the right Token, but How can i Pass this token in each call?
Where I have
You do not need to save and check the token from the database. This token such a mechanism can be decoded with only your-server, and if it was done that the token is valid. The code that you want to do should look like.
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')
app.use(cookieParser())
app.get('/login', function(req, res, next) {
var user = {name:'test'}; //!! find the user and check user from db then
var token = jwt.sign(user, 'secret', {
expiresInMinutes: 1440
});
res.cookie('auth',token);
res.send('ok');
});
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
var token = req.cookies.auth;
// decode token
if (token) {
jwt.verify(token, 'secret', function(err, token_data) {
if (err) {
return res.status(403).send('Error');
} else {
req.user_data = token_data;
next();
}
});
} else {
return res.status(403).send('No token');
}
});
