How to verifiy JWT on a single route in Laravel - laravel

Question

I have a single route in Laravel on which I need to verify the JWT on header if it is authorized and not expired. How can I do that?
In Javascript its really easy, but don`t know how in Laravel.
Here's the code:
public function update(Request $request){
$header = $request->header('Authorization');
$token = $request->bearerToken();
$secret = env('EXAMPLE_SECRETE');
$verified = here i want to verify the jtw /$token
if (!verified)
return 'something here'
else
>>code here after verified
}

First of install below package
composer require firebase/php-jwt
And then you can create a middleware in order to verify Token or expired, below is a complete code of middlware
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Exception;
use App\User;
use Firebase\JWT\JWT;
use Firebase\JWT\ExpiredException;
class JwtTokenMiddleware
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
$token = $request->bearerToken();
if (!$token) {
// Unauthorized response if token not there\
}
try {
$credentials = JWT::decode($token, env('JWT_SECRET'), ['HS256']);
//You can get credentials that you have set up while generating token
$user = User::findOrFail($credentials->sub)->setAuthUser();
$request->auth = $user;
} catch (ExpiredException $e) {
// Token expired response
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Handle unknow error while decoding token
return response()->json([
}
return $next($request);
}
}
