title: How to verify accessToken in node/express using aws-amplify?
body: <p>I am using AWS amplify for user authentication on my front-end React app.
  My React app directly communicates with amplify without any backend(node server) interaction.</p>
  
  <p>I have a REST API written in node/express. I want to secure that API using amplify.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I am planning to pass the access token from my react app to my node server. But I am unable to find a way through which I can verify this token on the backend using amplify.</p>
  
  <p>Does aws-amplify package provide any function in which I can pass the access token to verify it?</p>
  
  <p>Something like <code>Auth.verifyToken(&lt;access_token&gt;)</code></p>
