Install

$ npm install passport-jwt-cookie-extractor

Usage

Configure Strategy

passport-jwt-cookie-extractor is a lightweight addition to the existing passport-jwt package that you are missing to be able to confidently work with retrieving a token from a cookie in a request.

You should pass it as jwtFromRequest param in JwtStrategy options.

var JwtStrategy = require('passport-jwt').Strategy,
    Extractor = require('passport-jwt-cookie-extractor');
var opts = {}
opts.jwtFromRequest = Extractor.fromCookie('accessToken');
opts.secretOrKey = 'secret';
opts.issuer = 'accounts.examplesoft.com';
opts.audience = 'yoursite.net';
passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(jwt_payload, done) {
    User.findOne({id: jwt_payload.sub}, function(err, user) {
        if (err) {
            return done(err, false);
        }
        if (user) {
            return done(null, user);
        } else {
            return done(null, false);
            // or you could create a new account
        }
    });
}));
