const express = require('express')const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken')const api = express.Router()...

With our dependency imported in our file, let's implement the generateToken function. Apply the following changes:

...const logIn = (username, password) => {    if (username == 'admin' && password == 'admin') {                let userData = {            name: "Admin"        }                return generateToken(userData)            } else {        return null    }    }const generateToken = userData ...
