TypeError: expressJwt is not a function

Question

I'm trying to write middleware for user authorization in my app. I use this function to check if a route requires being sign in. The code is as follows:

const { expressJwt } = require('express-jwt'); 

exports.requireSignin = expressJwt({
secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET,
algorithms: ["HS256"],
userProperty: "auth",});

However, I get the following error:

TypeError: expressJwt is not a function at Object.<anonymous> (path to the file)\

What could be the problem? None of the other answers seem to be helpful.

2023 UPDATE

With version greater than 7.x, use this as doc said (https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-jwt) :

const { expressjwt: jwt } = require("express-jwt");

Then you can use jwt:

jwt({
  secret: "shhhhhhared-secret",
  audience: "http://myapi/protected",
  issuer: "http://issuer",
  algorithms: ["HS256"],
});
