Missing request parameter in JwtStrategy verify function documentation

[mstueve]

When first implementing the sample code I was getting an error that 'jwt_payload.sub' was undefined. Looking a little closer I discovered that the verify function takes 3 args - the request, the payload, and callback. So:

passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(jwt_payload, done) {

Should be

passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(req, jwt_payload, done) {

You need to opts.passReqToCallback to true to get the request as a parameter. Otherwise the callback will receive only payload and done.

True. This can be closed.

this is the code i am using and when i do console.log(jwt_payload.sub), it always says "undefined" and fetches the first record from DB. Can somebody please help?
var JwtStrategy = require('passport-jwt').Strategy,
ExtractJwt = require('passport-jwt').ExtractJwt;
var passport = require('passport');
var User = require('../models/user');
var config = require('../config/main');

// Setup work and export for the JWT passport strategy
module.exports = function(passport) {
var opts = {}
opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeader();
opts.secretOrKey = config.secret;

opts.passReqToCallback = true;
//opts.issuer = "accounts.examplesoft.com";
//opts.audience = "yoursite.net";
passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(req, jwt_payload, done) {
console.log(jwt_payload.sub);
// console.log(req);
User.findOne({id: jwt_payload.sub}, function(err, user) {
if (err) {
return done(err, false);
}
if (user) {
done(null, user);
} else {
done(null, false);
// or you could create a new account
}
});
}));
};

The passport.use() will automatically run when you call the passport.authenticate('jwt', cb). You should pass the authorization in header with valid JWT signed(user) token. If it valid and non-expired token then payload.subwill have user otherwise it doesnt contain user.

Fixed it.
Thanks for your help @devendra1102

Is there any way by which I could also get the server response in the JWTStrategy?
