How to Generate and Verify JSON Web Tokens in Node.js

In this article, you'll learn how to generate JSON Web Tokens, commonly referred to as JWTs, in Node.js using TypeScript. Now, I could have just used JavaScript, but bear with me because TypeScript is now widely adopted by companies. It has become the go-to language for modern web development, and I can't even remember the last time I built a web app without TypeScript.
