JWT Authentication

[kartik-pant-23]

Create a middleware, which authenticates the requests with JWT token. Find all the requests that need to be protected, and use this middleware there. Currently, none of the requests is authenticated.

Sir , Do I need to add cookies as well because I am not able to get idea of how to get token in authmiddleware? Could you please guide me ?

Hey @shikhar13012001, the client can send the token in the headers. Headers of the request can be accessed through req.headers["FieldName"]. Let's say, you choose token as field name, then it can be accessed as req.headers['token'] inside your middleware.
