🛡️ Golang JWT Authentication with Gorilla Mux

This project is a simple REST API built with Golang, using JWT (JSON Web Token) for authentication and Gorilla Mux as the HTTP router.

🚀 Features

• 🔒 User Authentication (Login & Register) with JWT
• 🍪 JWT Token stored in Cookies for secure access
• 📦 Dummy Products API for demonstration purposes
• 🛡️ JWT Middleware to protect certain routes

🔧 Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/thoriqdharmawan/go-jwt-mux.git
   cd go-jwt-mux

2. Install the required dependencies:

   go mod tidy

3. Set up your database connection in the models package.

4. Run the project:

   go run main.go

🛠️ Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description	Auth Required?
POST	/login	Login user and generate JWT	❌
POST	/register	Register new user	❌
GET	/logout	Logout user	❌
GET	/api/products	Get dummy product data	✅

🛡️ JWT Middleware

The /api/products route is protected by the JWT middleware, ensuring that only authenticated users can access it.

📦 Dummy Product Data

The productscontroller currently serves static, dummy product data for demonstration purposes. This can be replaced with real data from a database in the future.

🔐 Authentication Flow

1. Register: Create a new user by sending a POST request to /register with a username and password.
2. Login: After registering, login via /login. This will return a JWT token in a cookie.
3. Access Protected Routes: Use the JWT token to access protected routes such as /api/products.
4. Logout: Clear the token by hitting /logout.
