import { JwtModule, JWT_OPTIONS } from '@auth0/angular-jwt';
import { Storage } from '@ionic/storage';

export function jwtOptionsFactory(storage) {
return {
  tokenGetter: () => {
   return storage.get('access_token');
 }
}
}


@NgModule({

imports: [
 JwtModule.forRoot({
    jwtOptionsProvider: {
    provide: JWT_OPTIONS,
    useFactory: jwtOptionsFactory,
    deps: [Storage]
  }
})
]})
