Walkthrough

The changes introduce a new authentication mechanism using a Token struct with Username, Public, and Private fields, replacing the previous admin token structure. Environment variable names are updated to reflect this new model. A CLI guard is added to capture and validate user input against these credentials before proceeding with application logic. The screen-clearing functionality is refactored into a shared helper.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
.env.example Replaces admin token environment variables with username, public, and private token variables.
boost/boost.go, env/app.go, main.go Refactors to use new auth.Token struct for credentials; removes old admin user logic and types.

Poem

In the warren of code, a new lock and key,
Tokens with secrets, as safe as can be.
The Guard stands watch, credentials in paw,
Trimming the spaces, enforcing the law.
With a hop and a hash, the rabbits approve—
Clear screens, clear minds, let progress move!

🧹 Nitpick comments (5)
pkg/auth/token.go (1)

9-13: Consider adding documentation for the Token struct.

The struct fields and their relationships aren't immediately clear from the names. Consider adding documentation to explain the purpose and relationship between Username, Public, and Private fields.

+// Token represents authentication credentials with a username and public/private key pair.
+// Username: The user identifier (lowercase alphabetic, min 5 chars)
+// Public: The public token derived from hashing the private token
+// Private: The private token/seed used for validation
 type Token struct {
 	Username string `validate:"required,lowercase,alpha,min=5"`
 	Public   string `validate:"required,min=10"`
 	Private  string `validate:"required,min=10"`
 }
.env.example (1)

16-18: Address formatting and ordering issues flagged by static analysis.

The static analysis tool identified several issues with the environment variable definitions:

  1. Remove unnecessary quotes from empty values
  2. Fix key ordering for consistency
 # --- App super admin credentials
-ENV_APP_TOKEN_USERNAME=""
-ENV_APP_TOKEN_PUBLIC=""
-ENV_APP_TOKEN_PRIVATE=""
+ENV_APP_TOKEN_PRIVATE=
+ENV_APP_TOKEN_PUBLIC=
+ENV_APP_TOKEN_USERNAME=

Note: The reordering follows the static analysis tool's alphabetical ordering suggestion, though the current order may be more logical for users.

cli/main.go (2)

15-15: Consider dependency injection over global variables for better testability.

The global guard variable makes unit testing more difficult and creates tight coupling between components.

Consider refactoring to pass the guard as a parameter:

-var guard gate.Guard
-var environment *env.Environment

-func init() {
-	secrets, _ := boost.Spark("./../.env")
-
-	environment = secrets
-	guard = gate.MakeGuard(environment.App.Credentials)
-}

-func main() {
+func main() {
+	secrets, err := boost.Spark("./../.env")
+	if err != nil {
+		cli.Errorln("Failed to load environment: " + err.Error())
+		os.Exit(1)
+	}
+	
+	guard := gate.MakeGuard(secrets.App.Credentials)

33-36: Consider graceful error handling instead of hard exit.

Using os.Exit(1) prevents deferred functions from running and makes testing more difficult.

Consider returning an error or using a more graceful exit strategy:

	if guard.Rejects() {
		cli.Errorln("Invalid credentials")
-		os.Exit(1)
+		return
	}
cli/gate/guard.go (1)

26-26: Clarify the naming inconsistency between prompt and storage.

The prompt asks for "public token" but the input is stored as salt, which could be confusing.

Consider either:

  1. Changing the prompt to match the field name: cli.Warning("Type the salt: ")
  2. Or renaming the field to match the prompt: publicToken string instead of salt string

database/seeder/main.go (1)

22-22: Good refactoring to use centralized helper.

The migration from a local clearScreen function to the centralized cli.ClearScreen() improves code reusability and maintainability.

env/app.go (2)

3-3: Good addition of the auth package import.

The import is correctly added to support the new auth.Token type.


10-14: Clean refactoring to use the new token structure.

The replacement of the nested admin struct with a single auth.Token field simplifies the structure while maintaining proper validation. This aligns well with the overall authentication refactoring.

boost/boost.go (3)

64-68: Excellent input sanitization with TrimSpace.

The consistent use of strings.TrimSpace() for all token fields helps prevent issues with accidental whitespace in environment variables.


71-87: Comprehensive input sanitization applied consistently.

Good practice applying strings.TrimSpace() to all environment variable values throughout the configuration. This prevents common issues with trailing/leading whitespace in environment files.

Also applies to: 90-103


113-115: Verify that auth.Token validation is properly implemented.

The validation logic has switched from validating an admin user to validating the token struct. Ensure the auth.Token type has proper validation tags and the IsValid/IsInvalid methods are correctly implemented.

#!/bin/bash
# Description: Check if auth.Token struct has proper validation and methods

# Search for the auth.Token struct definition and its validation methods
ast-grep --pattern 'type Token struct {
  $$$
}'

echo "=== Token validation methods ==="
ast-grep --pattern 'func ($_ Token) IsValid($$$) $$$'
ast-grep --pattern 'func ($_ Token) IsInvalid($$$) $$$'

echo "=== Token validation tags ==="
rg -A 10 'type Token struct'

1-10: LGTM! Clean package structure and imports.

The package declaration and imports are well-organized and include all necessary dependencies for the authentication guard functionality.


12-16: Well-designed Guard struct with appropriate encapsulation.

The Guard struct properly encapsulates the authentication state with:

  • A salt pointer for storing user input
  • An auth.Token for credential validation
  • A buffered reader for input handling

The use of a pointer for salt allows tracking whether input has been captured.


18-23: Simple and correct constructor implementation.

The MakeGuard function properly initializes the Guard with the provided token and sets up the input reader from stdin.


35-41: Excellent input validation addressing security concerns.

The validation checks properly address the security recommendations from previous reviews:

  • Empty input validation prevents bypass attempts
  • Length limit (1024 characters) prevents potential buffer overflow or DoS attacks
  • Clear, actionable error messages

This implementation effectively mitigates the security risks identified in past reviews.


48-56: Robust authentication logic with proper null checking.

The Rejects method correctly:

  • Checks if salt has been captured (null check)
  • Dereferences the salt safely after null check
  • Delegates validation to the token's IsInvalid method

The logic flow ensures authentication cannot be bypassed if input hasn't been captured.
