CodeQL Go Linter Codecov Go Reference Go Report Card CodeFactor codebeat badge MIT license Contributor Covenant

gorest is a starter kit, written in Golang with Gin framework, for rapid prototyping and developing a RESTful API. The source code is released under the MIT license and is free for any personal or commercial project.

Versioning

1.x.y

1: production-ready

x: breaking changes

y: new functionality or bug fixes in a backwards compatible manner

Important

Version 1.6.x contains breaking changes!

Note: For version 1.4.5: v1.4.5

Requirement

Go 1.19+

Supported databases

  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • SQLite3
  • Redis
  • MongoDB

Note: gorest uses GORM as its ORM

Features

  • built on top of Gin
  • use the supported databases without writing any extra configuration files
  • environment variables using GoDotEnv
  • CORS policy
  • basic auth
  • two-factor authentication
  • JWT using golang-jwt/jwt
  • password hashing with Argon2id
  • JSON protection from hijacking
  • simple firewall (whitelist/blacklist IP)
  • email validation (pattern + MX lookup)
  • email verification (sending verification code)
  • forgotten password recovery
  • render HTML templates
  • forward error logs and crash reports to sentry.io
  • handle authentication tokens on client devices' cookies
  • logout (individually enable option - delete tokens from cookies, ban active tokens)
  • super easy to learn and use - lots of example codes

Supported JWT signing algorithms

  • HS256: HMAC-SHA256
  • HS384: HMAC-SHA384
  • HS512: HMAC-SHA512
  • ES256: ECDSA Signature with SHA-256
  • ES384: ECDSA Signature with SHA-384
  • ES512: ECDSA Signature with SHA-512
  • RS256: RSA Signature with SHA-256
  • RS384: RSA Signature with SHA-384
  • RS512: RSA Signature with SHA-512

Procedures to generate public-private key pair using openssl:

ECDSA

ES256:

  • prime256v1: X9.62/SECG curve over a 256 bit prime field, also known as P-256 or NIST P-256
  • widely used, recommended for general-purpose cryptographic operations
openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out private-key.pem
openssl ec -in private-key.pem -pubout -out public-key.pem

ES384:

  • secp384r1: NIST/SECG curve over a 384 bit prime field
openssl ecparam -name secp384r1 -genkey -noout -out private-key.pem
openssl ec -in private-key.pem -pubout -out public-key.pem

ES512:

  • secp521r1: NIST/SECG curve over a 521 bit prime field
openssl ecparam -name secp521r1 -genkey -noout -out private-key.pem
openssl ec -in private-key.pem -pubout -out public-key.pem
RSA

RS256:

openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private-key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048
openssl rsa -in private-key.pem -pubout -out public-key.pem

RS384:

openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private-key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:3072
openssl rsa -in private-key.pem -pubout -out public-key.pem

RS512:

openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private-key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:4096
openssl rsa -in private-key.pem -pubout -out public-key.pem

Start building

Please study the .env.sample file. It is one of the most crucial files required to properly set up a new project. Please rename the .env.sample file to .env, and set the environment variables according to your own instance setup.

Tutorials:

For version 1.6.x, please check the project in example

For version 1.4.x and 1.5.x, Wiki

  • convention over configuration
import (
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"

  gconfig "github.com/pilinux/gorest/config"
  gcontroller "github.com/pilinux/gorest/controller"
  gdatabase "github.com/pilinux/gorest/database"
  gmiddleware "github.com/pilinux/gorest/lib/middleware"
)
  • install a relational (SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL), Redis, or Mongo database
  • for 2FA, a relational + a redis database is required
  • set up an environment to compile the Go codes (a quick tutorial for any Debian based OS)
  • install git
  • check the Wiki and example for tutorials and implementations

Note: For MySQL driver, please check issue: 7

Note For SQLite3:

  • DBUSER, DBPASS, DBHOST and DBPORT environment variables should be left unchanged.
  • DBNAME must contain the full path and the database file name; i.e,
/user/location/database.db
