Authentication with go-gin

Example applications built with golang and gin web freamework. Using postgresql as a DB and GORM for an orm.

See the gofiber branch for the more secure authentication built with fiber and uses refresh tokens.

Setup TODO

• get the packages

  go get .

• add the .env file and populate it with the variables from .env.example.txt
• have a database running on port 5433, You can edit this to use you custom postgres db and edit values in .env file

    host := "localhost"
    port := os.Getenv("DB_PORT")
    dbName := "postgres"
    dbUser := "root"
    password := string(os.Getenv("DB_PASSWORD"))
    dsn := fmt.Sprintf("host=%s port=%s user=%s dbname=%s password=%s sslmode=disable",
    	host,
    	port,
    	dbUser,
    	dbName,
    	password,
    )

  • For database I used postgres15-alpine docker image and ran it on port 5433
  • If you want to change the Database provider remember to import the right gorm/driver/*

    package initializers
    
    import (
      "fmt"
      "log"
      "os"
    
      // change this to whatever
      "gorm.io/driver/postgres"
      "gorm.io/gorm"
    )
