[SOLVED] Validate JWT in cloud functions
I am creating a function that will validate the jwt that comes in the headers(x-appwrite-user-jwt), and then perform some db operation.
I am using node-18 to write the cloud functions, I am thinking of using jsonwebtoken to validate the JWT, but I can't seem to find the SECRET of the JWT that appwrite uses to sign.
How do I set SECRET for the appwrite to use in JWT.
TL;DR
The user is looking for a way to validate a JWT in cloud functions using Node.js 8. They are considering using the 'jsonwebtoken' package, but they can't find the secret key that Appwrite uses to sign the JWT. The solution is to set the secret key for Appwrite to use in the JWT. 
the best way to validate the JWT token is to do:
TypeScript
client.setJWT(token);
const account = new Account(client);
let isValid = false;
try {
const user = account.get();
isValid = true;
catch (e) {
context.log(e.toString());
}
Great, Thank you so much.
