AUTHEXAMPLE

A minimal application to replicate basic authentication with postgre database, using bcrypt for password hashing

User Struct

// User struct for holding data
type User struct {
	USER_ID    int
	USERNAME   string
	FULL_NAME  string
	PASSWORD   string
	EMAIL      string
	CREATED_ON time.Time
	LAST_LOGIN time.Time
}

Table Structure

CREATE TABLE users (
	user_id serial PRIMARY KEY,
	username VARCHAR ( 30 ) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    full_name VARCHAR (25) NOT NULL,
	password VARCHAR ( 60 ) NOT NULL,
	email VARCHAR ( 255 ) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
	created_on TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    last_login TIMESTAMP 
);

Application database lives in a docker container, you can ignore below commands if you are running it locally - make sure you run init.sql & seed.sql

To build the docker image:

docker build . -t authexample:1.0

To run the docker image:

docker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_DB=apidb -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres --name authexample authexample:1.0

Working

Application exposes /users as restricted & /hello as unrestricted endpoint

Following are the username & passwords for users from seed data

USERNAME	PASSWORD
admin	admin
jimmy	user
