Decode the given Discord bot token.

Functions

decode_token!(token)

(since 0.11.0) 
@spec decode_token!(binary()) :: pos_integer()

Decode the given Discord bot token.

We check if the token is a binary followed by splitting it into 3 parts separated by a dot ".". The first part is the Base64 encoded user_id which we decode and parse into as integer. The second part is an encoded timestamp, and the last part an arbitrary cryptographic signature.

Returns the user ID in the token.

Raises on failure.
