Angular Get Spring Roles from JWT

I have two roles in my REST back-end (built with Spring):

ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN

When I log in, the REST API returns a valid token. Then I set it in the local storage like this:

localStorage.setItem('currentUser', JSON.stringify({username: username, token: token}));

And when I need it I get it like this:

localStorage.getItem('currentUser');

So far so good. When I get my token how do I get the payload and the claims in it?

I want to show admin panel if you are an admin.

The other answers covered the spring part of your question, so I'm going to focus my answer on the angular part.

You can use a directive to show/hide the admin panel like so:

<admin-component *ngIf="user.isAdmin"></admin-component>

It is very difficult to identify user role based on the token, Better add a new flag like IS_ROLE_USER, IS_ROLE_ADMIN and based on that flag check the current user role. Or else use spring boot security. Might it will help you.
