I am trying to authenticate jwt token when using socket.io by passing user token from client side to the server side then using jwt verify function, i get the following error :

JsonWebTokenError: invalid token

socket.on('addBackorder', (newBackorder, token) => {


    jwt.verify(token, 'secret_key', function(err, decoded) {
        if (err) {
            console.log('err: ', err);
        } else {
            console.log('decoded: ', decoded);
            backorderControler.addBackorder(io, newBackorder, user_id);
        }
    });

});

so maybe your token is invalid? – BraveButter Oct 18 '18 at 17:33
@BraveButter the token is being passed from localStorage – publicArt33 Oct 18 '18 at 18:53

You could print your jwt and try to validate it here (https://jwt.io/) to be sure it is correct. – BraveButter Oct 18 '18 at 19:09
i get the payload and Signature Verified – publicArt33 Oct 18 '18 at 20:15
@BraveButter thank you for the help, I figured it out, i have to remove "Bearer" from the token – publicArt33 Oct 18 '18 at 20:20
Also. I could decode the token without the secret key, which is strange, any input on that behavior – publicArt33 Oct 18 '18 at 20:34
