Simple Authentication Template

This project provides a straightforward implementation of session management and CSRF tokens for user authentication. It serves as a template for building secure applications using Go, utilizing the standard library for most functionalities, with minimal external dependencies.

Features

• User Registration:
  • Users can register using their email and password.
• Login & Logout:
  • Authentication is handled with session tokens, allowing users to log in and out seamlessly.
• Protected Routes:
  • Access to certain routes, such as /show-users, is restricted and requires valid session and CSRF tokens for access.
• Basic Middleware:
  • A simple middleware implementation is included to handle authentication without relying on external packages.
• Custom Router:
  • A basic routing mechanism is implemented to manage different endpoints without third-party libraries.
• Data Storage:
  • For demonstration purposes, user data is stored in a simple in-memory map.
• Validation:
  • Input validation is performed using the validator package (v9.31.0+incompatible).

Usage

This template provides a foundational structure for building secure authentication mechanisms in Go applications. You can extend it to include additional features as needed.
