Do you mean that user id stored in a DB or do you store the JWT in a DB? If
you are storing the JWT, there is no point of using JWT :)

I always thought this was a good approach. But that way you will never get
the JWT when the user initially loads the web app. You always have to
render some boilerplate HTML and then let the client-side Javascript do the
authentication call for you.
