verify-token

It's a simple package that exports a express middleware function called verifyJWT. Internally it uses jsonwebtoken and dotenv.

You can provide your secret in the .env file with variable name SECRET. The package will automatically pick it up and use it as your JWT secret.

The token should be stored in the cookie with key value access-token.

The result will be attached in req.user.

Or you can just recreate the below code inside your node project and avoid additional dependencies.

import jwt from "jsonwebtoken";
import dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config();

function verifyJWT(req, res, next) {
  const accessToken = req.cookies["access-token"];

  if (!accessToken) {
    return res.status(401).send({ isLoggedIn: false });
  }

  jwt.verify(accessToken, process.env.SECRET, (err, user) => {
    if (err) {
      return res.status(401).send({ isLoggedIn: false });
    }
    req.user = user;
  });
  next();
}

export default verifyJWT;

Please, this was not intended for public use as it was developed as a side gig for my personal project.
