Add optionalToken parameter to middleware

Open magnusburton opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

Description

I thought about adding a parameter to allow for tokens to be read, while still allowing tokens to be retired, expired, invalid, or non existent without anything being thrown. If a valid token can be decoded, it'll be returned. The PR does not break anything as it's false by default, so existing implementations will still work.

References

I figured I'd do this due to my own personal need, as well as a couple of discussions within this repository, https://github.com/auth0/express-jwt/issues/194

Testing

I've not yet got around to add tests. If someone would like to contribute with some, please do!
