My flutter app makes API requests to my NodeJS backend. Now I dont want everyone with the url to make requests to the endpoint. So, i'm creating a JWT token for the signed in user on the app and then sending it in the header. Need help about how to verify it on the server side. Thanks

TL;DR
To validate JWT tokens on the server side, you need to follow these steps: 1. Create a new client in Appwrite and set the Appwrite endpoint, project ID, and the JWT token. 2. With the JWT token, the client on the server can act like a user and perform actions based on the user's permissions. If you need more specific help, check out the documentation here: [link to authentication server documentation](https://appwrite.io/docs/authentication-server)

You have to create a new Client from appwrite and then set appwrite endpoint, appwrite projekt id and that JWT. With JWT then the Client on the server will act like a user (server will be able to do things that the user can do according to permissins)
