REST_API Using GO for Event Management using Gin and SQLite

Description

This project is a RESTful API for managing events, built with the Gin framework in Go and SQLite for data storage. It includes JWT-based authentication and authorization to secure the endpoints and ensure that only authorized users can modify event data.

Features

• Create, retrieve, update, and delete events
• User authentication and authorization using JWT
• Event registration and cancellation for authenticated users
• Middleware for token validation and authorization

Technologies Used

• Go (Gin Framework)
• SQLite
• JWT for authentication

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Milan-CS03/GO_REST.git
   cd REST-GO

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy

3. Set up the database: Ensure SQLite is installed and configure the database as required.

4. Run the application:

   go run main.go

Usage

1. Register a new user: POST /signup with JSON payload:

   {
     "email": "example@abc.com",
     "password": "password"
   }

2. Login to get JWT token: POST /login with JSON payload:

   {
     "username": "example@abc.com",
     "password": "password"
   }

3. Use the token to access protected endpoints: Add the token to the Authorization header:

   Authorization: Bearer your_jwt_token

API Endpoints

• Public Endpoints:

  • POST /signup - Register a new user
  • POST /login - Login and obtain a JWT

• Protected Endpoints (require JWT):

  • GET /events - Get a list of all events
  • POST /events - Create a new event
  • PUT /events/:id - Update an event
  • DELETE /events/:id - Delete an event
  • POST /events/:id/register - Register for an event
  • DELETE /events/:id/register - Cancel registration for an event

Authentication

This project uses JWT for authentication. After logging in, include the JWT in the Authorization header for protected endpoints.

Middleware

• JWT Middleware: Validates the token and authorizes the user.
