Accessing the authenticated JWT token

If you need to get the information of JWT token from a Controller or Service for some purposes, you can:

1. Inject TokenStorageInterface and JWTTokenManagerInterface:

use Lexik\Bundle\JWTAuthenticationBundle\Services\JWTTokenManagerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\Storage\TokenStorageInterface;

public function __construct(TokenStorageInterface $tokenStorageInterface, JWTTokenManagerInterface $jwtManager)
{
    $this->jwtManager = $jwtManager;
    $this->tokenStorageInterface = $tokenStorageInterface;
}

2. Call decode() in jwtManager, and getToken() in tokenStorageInterface.

$decodedJwtToken = $this->jwtManager->decode($this->tokenStorageInterface->getToken());

This returns the decoded information of the JWT token sent in the current request.
