JWT Token Decoder - Node.js Project

Today, I developed a simple yet functional Node.js application that decodes JWT tokens and verifies their signatures. This application showcases my ability to work with Node.js and JWT tokens.

Overview

This application provides a user-friendly interface to input JWT tokens and get their decoded details. It also verifies the signatures of the tokens.

Setup and Installation

To run this application locally for development or testing, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your machine. If not, download and install them from here.

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/chadgauth/jwt-token-details.git

2. Install the dependencies

npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add the following:

SECRET=your_secret_key

Replace 'your_secret_key' with your own secret key.

4. Start the server

npm start

How to Use

To decode a JWT token, make a GET request to '/tokenDetails' with the token in the 'x-access-token' header.
