Decode JWT Payload code example

Example 1: js jwt decode

import jwt_decode from "jwt-decode";
var token = "eyJ0eXAiO...";
var decoded = jwt_decode(token);
console.log(decoded);

/* prints: * { foo: "bar", *   exp: 1393286893, *   iat: 1393268893  } */

Example 2: decode jwt tokens

let b64DecodeUnicode = str =>
  decodeURIComponent(
    Array.prototype.map.call(atob(str), c =>
      '%' + ('00' + c.charCodeAt(0).toString(16)).slice(-2)
    ).join(''))

let parseJwt = token =>
  JSON.parse(
    b64DecodeUnicode(
      token.split('.')[1].replace('-', '+').replace('_', '/')
    )
  )

Example 3: local jwt decode

import jwt_decode from "jwt-decode";

var token = "eyJ0eXAiO.../// jwt token";
var decoded = jwt_decode(token);

console.log(decoded);

/* prints:
 * { foo: "bar",
 *   exp: 1393286893,
 *   iat: 1393268893  }
 */

// decode header by passing in options (useful for when you need `kid` to verify a JWT):
var decodedHeader = jwt_decode(token, { header: true });
console.log(decodedHeader);

/* prints:
 * { typ: "JWT",
 *   alg: "HS256" }
 */
