I wanted to build a test golang application able to :

• Connect to a mySQL database via gorm to store user data
• Use the Gin Web Framework to serve API
• Secure API via 2 JWT different token usage :
  • a short lived "access token" (1 hour ) to use the API
  • a long refresh JWT token (15 days ), only able to get new up-to-date access and refresh token
• Document the API via the Swagger UI

(back to top)

• 
• 
• generate from anotations Swagger UI pages

.

• go
• a mySQL database, use the one provided in docker or edit the main.go file

  docker-compose up

Below is an example of how you can instruct your audience on installing and setting up your app. This template doesn't rely on any external dependencies or services.

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/vinpel/golang-sample-api-jwt.git

2. Install dependencies and build the app

   go build .

3. Start the app

   go run .

(back to top)

• Consult the API documentation

  https://localhost:8000/swagger/index.html

• View the database content (db / root / root)

  https://localhost:8080

• Launch a debug session : F5 in VScode

• Stop a debug session : SHIFT + F5 in VScode

• Recreate the swagger documentation and start the application

  swag init && go run .

• Set the application in production mode (disable swagger endpoint)
  1. edit the main.go file
  2. add the following line before the routeur initilisation

gin.SetMode(gin.ReleaseMode)

3. restart / build / install the app

   go build .

(back to top)

• Add Gin Framework
• Add API endpoint to create a new user
• Add Swaggo annotations to generate swagger json/yaml file
• Add API endpoint to grab JWT tokens using user information email/passwod
• Add API endpoint to grab JWT tokens from a refresh token
• Add API secure endpoint to test the secure API (ping)
• Change password algorithm to Argon 2
• Add secure API to change the password (stay connected for other / disconnect)
• Manage configuration https://github.com/spf13/viper
• Add tests with ovh-venom
