Undocumented - Return in verify #64

Closed fabltd closed 5 years ago

fabltd commented 5 years ago

When verify a JWT the following is returned header body and then:

toString: [Function]

What is the expected operation of toString. There is no mention in the docs.

Hey @fabltd, thanks for the question:

toString() is just an alias for compact() - it returns the JWT as a Base64 URL-encoded string rather than as a data object. I recommend using compact() for the sake of being explicit.

Thanks. Suggest adding this to the docs.
