My application using Google's Authentication and the browser sends idToken to my API server. I use checkIfAuthenticated
to validate the idToken, once validated ok, need to decode/extract info from it. But I can't figure out how to decode/extract.
Here is how it's validated and routing:
const jwksRsa = require('jwks-rsa');
const expressJwt = require('express-jwt');
const checkIfAuthenticated = () =>
{
var googleUri = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs";
expressJwt({
secret: jwksRsa.expressJwtSecret({
cache: true,
rateLimit: true,
jwksUri: googleUri
}),
algorithms: ['RS256']
});
// try to decode but gave me a definition of ƒ (req, res, next){...
var data = expressJwt({secret: googleUri, requestProperty: 'auth', algorithms: ['RS256'] });
}
module.exports = app =>
{
app.post("/needvalidation", checkIfAuthenticated, ... );
};
Found out the best way is to use Google's package google-auth-library
