Using

Note

This is actually set for using with SQLite for simplicity, but you can switch this database manager for postgres if needed. Just go to internal/users/data/repository.go and change the line 10 typing Postgres. If you use postgres, remember to set the .env.example values according to your setup. Note that I left the : as part of HTTP_PORT env var value, so if you need to change this port just delete the numbers.

You can use any client you want. I'm using curl:

curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"shinigami", "password":"12345678"}' http://<host>:<port>/api/v1/public/signup

Response:

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Sun, 29 May 2022 06:24:41 GMT
Content-Length: 26

{"status":"User Created"}

Once the user is created you can sign in:

curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"shinigami", "password":"12345678"}' http://<host>:<port>/api/v1/public/login

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{"token":"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2NTM4MDU4MTcsImlzcyI6IlNhbSBTZXBpb2wiLCJBdHRyaWJ1dGUiOiJzaGluaWdhbWkifQ.CdEL0FqZxOHAit5C6zfpcX2HuhLESDpwcKQSzlowm2s"}

After obtaining the token, we can send it to a special endpoint that will give us the user's data as a response.

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2NTM4MDU4MTcsImlzcyI6IlNhbSBTZXBpb2wiLCJBdHRyaWJ1dGUiOiJzaGluaWdhbWkifQ.CdEL0FqZxOHAit5C6zfpcX2HuhLESDpwcKQSzlowm2s" http://<host:port>/a
