Rotator

Overview

Rotator is a Go package that provides an implementation of a rotating container, well-suited for use cases where cyclic traversal of element lists or rapid access by their respective keys is necessary, all while ensuring Go routine safety.

Installation

To install the package, simply run:

go get github.com/dimasadyaksa/rotator

Usage

Here is an example of using Rotator as a key rotator for JWT signing.

First, make sure to install the "github.com/golang-jwt/jwt" package if you haven't already:

go get github.com/golang-jwt/jwt

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/dimasadyaksa/rotator"
	"github.com/golang-jwt/jwt"
)

// JWTKey Custom struct to represent JWT signing keys.
type JWTKey struct {
	ID  string
	Key string
}

func main() {
	// Create a Rotator for JWT signing keys.
	keyRotator := rotator.New(func(key JWTKey) string {
		return key.ID
	})

	keys := []JWTKey{
		{
			ID:  "key1",
			Key: "key1_secret",
		},
		{
			ID:  "key2",
			Key: "key2_secret",
		},
	}

	// Add JWT signing keys to the rotator.
	keyRotator.Add(keys...)

	// Get the current key from the rotator.
	currentKey, err := keyRotator.Rotate()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error getting current key:", err)
		return
	}

	// Create a new JWT token.
	token := jwt.New(jwt.SigningMethodHS256)

	// Set the "kid" (Key ID) in the JWT header.
	token.Header["kid"] = currentKey.ID

	// Sign the token with the current key.
	tokenString, err := token.SignedString([]byte(currentKey.Key))
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error signing token:", err)
		return
	}

	// Print the JWT token.
	fmt.Println("JWT Token:")
	fmt.Println(tokenString)
}
