How to make user authorization using Authorization header in node.js?

Question

Node.js

Hello!
As I understand. When the client accesses the server for the first time, we send him the generated token, which we save in the session. On each request, the client sends the same token in the Authorization header. On the server, we check if the token from the header matches the token from the session.
Please tell me, is this how it works?
Thanks
