This is the first time I am using JSON Web Tokens. But the error is coming, and the error is expressjwt is not a function.

const expressjwt = require("express-jwt")
const config = require('../../nodemon.json')

function jwt() {
    const { secret } = config

    return expressjwt({ secret, algorithm: ["RS256", "HS256"] }).unless({
        path: [
            //public routes that don't require authentication
            "users/authenticate"
        ]
    })


}
module.exports = jwt;

TypeError: expressjwt is not a function

express-jwt doesn't have a default export, you should import it like this:

const { expressjwt }  = require("express-jwt");

Also, it takes "algorithms" as a parameter and not "algorithm"
