JWT decoding working in React Native but not for React

Question

So when you decode the following in https://jwt.io/ it says it has a header named 'token' which has the token when you re-decode it you can access the payload.

Normally in RN I can access the payload containing token using this.props.user.token but in React the 'token' property is not there as it is not an javascript object but a string but I use the same API to my backend.

I tried to decode it using

var decoded = jwt.decode(response.data);

but decoded is null, what can I do?

Solution

You can use any npm module for decoding like :

npm install jwt-decode

var jwtDecode = require('jwt-decode');

var token = 'eyJ0eXAiO.../// jwt token';

var decoded = jwtDecode(token);
console.log(decoded);
