Missing request parameter in JwtStrategy verify function documentation

When first implementing the sample code I was getting an error that ‘jwt_payload.sub’ was undefined. Looking a little closer I discovered that the verify function takes 3 args - the request, the payload, and callback. So:

passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(jwt_payload, done) {

Should be

passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(req, jwt_payload, done) {

[devendra1102]

The passport.use() will automatically run when you call the passport.authenticate(‘jwt’, cb). You should pass the authorization in header with valid JWT signed(user) token. If it valid and non-expired token then payload.subwill have user otherwise it doesnt contain user.

You need to opts.passReqToCallback to true to get the request as a parameter. Otherwise the callback will receive only payload and done.
