API

jwt.sign(body, secret, [alg])

Generated JWT will include an iat (issued at) claim by default. For expiration claim (exp) simply add it to payload. Default signature is HS256.

const exp = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 // 365 days
const token = jwt.sign({ foo: 'bar', exp: exp }, secret, 'HS384')

jwt.verify(token, secret)

The result of this transformation will be a decrypted body. Possible thrown errors during verification.

const data = jwt.verify(token, secret)

Errors

TokenError: token is expired or signature is invalid.
