First of all, Thank you for providing this resource.
I have one question about your lecture :)

18:32 -> In 'mainJwt' function, There is c.Get("user") the sentence.
Why this key name is 'user'? Does authorization token at the requested moment converted to in 'user'?

Hi, can u tell more about JWT config struct, special about tokenlookup and authscheme. And how to use func jwtFromCookie and check validation of token

[pablogtzgileta]

Hi, really good videos, have learned a lot!
I have a question when I make the request to localhost:8000/jwt/main with the header included I get:
message: "code=401, message=Invalid or expired jwt, signature is invalid"
Do you have any idea why this could be happening? Thanks!
