JWTPayloadExample.js

const timeNow = new Date()

const payload = {
    iss: 'http://backend.com', // Issuer - Identifier of who provided this JWT
    sub: 'uniqueIdOfUser', // Subject - Who is supposed to be using this JWT (The value should mean something for `aud`)
    aud: ['http://frontend.com', 'http://backend.com'], // Audience - Who should be consuming this JWT
    exp: new Date(new Date(timeNow).setDate(timeNow.getDate() + 7).getTime(), // Expiration Time - When this JWT should no longer be accepted by the `aud`
    nbf: timeNow.getTime(), // Not Before - When this JWT should start being accepted by the `aud`
    iat: timeNow.getTime(), // Issued At - When this JWT was issued
    jti: 'uniqueIdForThisJWT' // JWT ID - Unique ID that the `aud` can use to blacklist/whitelist the JWT even if `exp` and `nbf` requirements are met
