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.
