# Go Project: JWT Authentication, RBAC Authorization, Echo Framework, Hot Reloading, SQLite with GORM

This project serves as a practical exploration of Go's capabilities for building robust web applications. It implements essential features like:

  • JWT (JSON Web Token) Authentication: Securely validates user identities and provides access control.
  • RBAC (Role-Based Access Control): Granular access management based on user roles and permissions.
  • Echo Framework: A high-performance, minimalistic web framework for efficient development.
  • Air: Enables hot reloading of your Go code for a seamless development experience.
  • SQLite: A lightweight, embedded database providing a suitable choice for development and prototyping.
  • GORM (Go ORM): An Object-Relational Mapper simplifies database interactions and data modeling.
  • LOGGING

Project Objectives:

  • Gain hands-on experience with Go's core concepts.
  • Master the construction of RESTful APIs with JWT authentication and RBAC authorization.
  • Explore hot reloading for rapid development iteration.
  • Utilize GORM for efficient and productive database access.

Target Audience:

This project is ideal for:

  • Developers interested in learning Go web application development.
  • Individuals seeking to understand JWT, RBAC, Echo Framework, and GORM.
  • Programmers looking to leverage Go's concurrency capabilities for performance-critical tasks.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completing this project, you'll be equipped to:

  • Create robust and secure Go applications with JWT authentication.
  • Implement RBAC for fine-grained access control.
  • Build RESTful APIs using Echo Framework.
  • Enhance development workflow with hot reloading.
  • Utilize GORM for object-relational mapping and database interactions.
  • Deepen your understanding of Go fundamentals

API Documentation

Detailed API documentation will be provided Here, including all available endpoints, request/response formats, and authentication requirements.

Additional Notes:

  • Feel free to modify or extend the project as needed to explore Go further.
  • Consider incorporating unit tests for enhanced project maintainability.
  • Refer to the official documentation of each technology for in-depth information.

Go: A Concurrency Powerhouse

Go's concurrency model, powered by goroutines and channels, is a key aspect of its performance. Goroutines are lightweight threads that can be launched efficiently, enabling parallel execution of tasks for responsiveness and scalability.

Future Projects in Go

By successfully completing this project, you'll establish a strong foundation for tackling a wide range of Go projects, including:

  • Building microservices architectures
  • Developing high-performance web services and APIs
  • Creating command-line tools and utilities
  • Leveraging Go's concurrency for real-time applications

I hope this MD provides a comprehensive overview of your Go project!
