jwt decode header code example

Example: 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  }

console.log(decodedHeader);

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