Auth0_jwks - I made an Auth0 plug so you don't have to!
Hey all,
I spent a good part of today battling with Auth0’s awkward documentation and muddy concepts trying to figure out how I can turn an access token from my web client into actionable user data on my API.
As a result I created a small plug to help the community avoid the pitfall I ran into trying to get this running. I hope you enjoy!

P.s. I’ll put out a tutorial around this in a week or so

Welcome to the forum - and thanks for the contribution to the community 
Quick notes
Do you need to handle bearer not Bearer?
Note that “Bearer” is now case sensitive. Per original HTTP spec, auth scheme is case insensitive (RFC 2617 - HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication) however “Basic” and “Bearer” are exceptions (see RFC 6750 - The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: Bearer Token Usage)
In my case, I usually just accept the good request (Bearer) - then you can simplify this by pattern match on the string - "Bearer " <> token = header
