What changes
<table> <tr> <td width="50%">Before
</td> <td width="50%">Great question! Let me think about this. Your auth flow has a few moving pieces: the middleware, the token verification, and the cookie handling. Looking at
src/auth.ts, theverifyTokenfunction (around lines 42-58) seems to be using an olderjsonwebtokenAPI. One approach would be to update the package and rewrite that function. After making the change, you'd want to run the auth tests to confirm nothing breaks. By the way, you might also want to look at your dependency versions overall. Hope this helps! Let me know if you want to dig deeper.
After
</td> </tr> </table>Edit
src/auth.ts:42to update the token validation.
- Open
src/auth.ts- Replace
verifyToken(lines 42–58) with the snippet below- Run
npm test -- auth.spec.tsNext: paste the first failing line if any test fails.
