Current behavior

I have no idea how to access a JWT token and it’s missing in doc/github example.

Let’s take this one: https://github.com/nestjs/nest/blob/master/sample/19-auth/src/auth/auth.controller.ts#L16

Here, we’re securing the route:

  @Get('data')
  @UseGuards(AuthGuard('jwt'))
  findAll() {
    // this route is restricted
  }

But how can we have access to the current JWT (to retrieve user id or email for example).

Environment

Nest version: 5.0.0

For Tooling issues:
- Node version: 8.9.4
- Platform:  Linux

If you don’t pass any options to auth guard, you should have access to the user by calling req.user

Thanks @maxime1992 . Everything suddenly understood, after seeing export const Usr = createParamDecorator((data,req)=> req.user); This is a huge help for me, thanks again.
