Spring boot controller retrieve UserDetails

Hello so i have this method in JwtUtill

public Boolean validateToken(String token, UserDetails userDetails) {
    final String username = extractEmail(token);
    return (username.equals(userDetails.getUsername()) && !isTokenExpired(token));
}

But how can i request UserDetails in controller? 

@GetMapping("/validateToken")
public String validateToken(@RequestHeader(value="token") String token) {
    if(jwtUtil.validateToken(token,???)) {

    }
}

Angular side

  public isTokenExpired(): Observable<string> {
    const headers = new HttpHeaders().set('token', localStorage.getItem('token'));
    return this.httpClient.get<string>('http://localhost:8080/api/validateToken', {headers, responseType: 'text' as 'json'});
  }

Also as frontend im using angular

It seems like you are using jwt, you don't need UserDetails to compare it with.

change methods as :

public Boolean validateToken(String token) {
    final String username = extractEmail(token);
    return (!StringUtils.isEmpty(username) && !isTokenExpired(token));
}

@GetMapping("/validateToken")
public String validateToken(@RequestHeader(value="token") String token) {
    if(jwtUtil.validateToken(token)) {

    }
}

If your token is invalid you will not get exception in extractEmail method and if it is expired then method isTokenExpired will return false.

UserDetails comes in the security context in the principal

UserDetails userDetails =
 (UserDetails)SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();

You can simply inject it using @AuthenticationPrincipal. Eg:

@GetMapping("/validateToken")
public String validateToken(@AuthenticationPrincipal UserDetails userDetails, ...
