What is the process to assign a JWT token to req.headers['authorization'] in nodejs?

edit

The process to assign a JWT token to req.headers['authorization'] in Node.js can be done in the following steps:

1. Install the jsonwebtoken package by running the following command in the terminal:

npm install jsonwebtoken

1. Require the jsonwebtoken package in your Node.js file:

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

1. Create a JWT token using the sign method with a secret key and any necessary options:

const token = jwt.sign({ /* payload */ }, 'secret_key', { /* options */ });

1. Set the token in the Authorization header of the req object:

req.headers['authorization'] = "Bearer " + token;

Note that the Bearer keyword is added to the token to indicate that it is a bearer token according to the JWT specification. Also, make sure to replace 'secret_key' with an actual secret key that is used to sign and verify the token.
