Go-JWT

Overview

Go-JWT is a project that demonstrates user authentication using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in a Go application with Gin framework.

Project Structure

The project consists of the following main components:

• main.go: Contains the main entry point of the application where routes are defined and server initialization takes place.
• controllers/userController.go: Includes functions for user signup and login processes, interacting with the database and handling JWT token generation.
• middleware/authorize.go: Middleware for authorizing user requests based on JWT tokens.
• middleware/noAuthorize.go: Middleware for handling routes that do not require authorization.

Setup

1. Ensure Go is installed on your machine.
2. Clone the repository.
3. Install dependencies by running go mod tidy.
4. Set up the required environment variables.
5. Run the application using go run main.go.

Usage

• Signup: Endpoint /signup allows users to create a new account by providing an email and password.

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:3030/signup' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "email": "a@gmail.com",
    "password": "password"
}'

• Signin: Endpoint /signin enables users to log in with their credentials and receive a JWT token for authentication.

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:3030/signin' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "email": "a@gmail.com",
    "password": "password"
}'

• Home: Endpoint /home users can see if the authentication is susccess.

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:3030/home'

• Home: Endpoint /signout delete the cookie and singout the user.

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:3030/signout'

• Authorization: Middleware ensures that certain routes are only accessible with a valid JWT token.

Dependencies

• github.com/gin-gonic/gin: Web framework used for building the API.
• github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5: Library for JWT token generation and validation.
• golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt: Package for hashing passwords securely.
