"undefined is not a function" on jwt.sign

[OKNoah]

Code:

jwt = require('express-jwt'),
var token = jwt.sign( { id: user._id }, secret.secretToken, { expireInMinutes: tokenManager.TOKEN_EXPIRATION } )

Error:

        var token = jwt.sign( { id: user._id }, secret.secretToken, { expireInMinut
                        ^
TypeError: undefined is not a function

This module is used only to validate/decode jwts on express.js requests.

If you need to sign requests you need to use https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken

If there is a bit of documentation causing this confusion, please feel free to submit a pr.

Seems you could just as easily export the sign method from the already included jsonwebtoken module so that this module could provide that, no?

This fix the issue for me.
const { expressjwt: jwt } = require("express-jwt");

This fixes my issue as well, but, why is this not already in the documentation :(
