var router = express.Router();

    router.use(function(req, res, next) {
    var token = req.query.token;
    console.log(token);
    try {
        var decoded = jwt.verify(token, 'thisismysecretstring');
        console.log(decoded);
        res.send(req.query.token);
    } catch (err) {

    }

app.use('/auth', router);
