A basic user system API with token based authentication written in GoLang

Token Auth API

This serves as a basic example of user based CRUD functionality, email and password login & token based authentication through middleware.

The idea is that these API endpoints are consumed by an SPA or similar front-end interface.

Endpoints

• Register
• Login
• Get logged in user
• Get user by ID
• Update user
• Delete user
• Request password reset
• Check password reset code valid
• Do password reset
• Admin only

Read the PostMan Collection Docs for more information about the API endpoints and passing the token header.

The pw-reset.html file is the email template used for password reset notifications.

The following data variables can be used in the template by default:

• {{.ActionUrl}}
• {{.Name}}

This code block dictates the data available in the email template.

This GoLang application mainly uses the following packages:

• Router - Chi
• Database - PGX
• Mail - Go Mail

TO-DO / Improvements

• Improve method/service initialisation
• Pool DB connections & close DB Conn after events
