Amplify-js: can I use this library in node to check the validity of the token

[dagda1]

Can I use amplify-js to check the token's validity.

I've been looking at cognito-express but could I use this library instead?

@dagda1 Amazon Cognito Federated Identities validates the token when you are invoking Auth.federatedSignIn on Amplify, then it returns credentials if token is valid or not.

thanks, but i am not using federated identities.

@dagda1 what do you mean by checking the token's validity?

[dagda1]

@powerful23 yes, to decode the token and check the validity

[powerful23]

Can you try

Auth.currentSession(session => {
    const payload = session.getIdToken().decodePayload();
    console.log('decode jwt token from cognito', payload);
})
