No need for a full handholdy tutorial. Just highlight the differences between stateful/stateless and session/JWT
req.headers is a Node built-in getter as part of the Message interface (which extends Request). Not as intuitive to find docs for since people will likely look at the Request interface first. It'll be easier for learners to find an Express method in Express docs - consistent with other Express methods used in this and other lessons.
More detail left for a future Sessions vs JWTs lesson

@01zulfi Just realised with the caveats section gone, there's nothing about logging out with stateless auth. Added a little bit about logging out but leaving the caveat details for the comparison lesson. This little bit should be sufficient and allow the learner to figure out what code they might need based on the mechanism. |
jwt.io now has a slightly different decoder/encoder interface.
