Functions

func AuthRequired

func AuthRequired() gin.HandlerFunc

AuthRequired is middleware that validates whether or not the current request has been authenticated by a JWT. If the request is not authenticated, a 401 HTTP code will be returned.

func Authenticate

func Authenticate(c *gin.Context)

Authenticate authenticates a user by providing a JWT if the provided email and password match with the information from the database.

func GetUserID

func GetUserID(c *gin.Context) (int64, error)

GetUserID gets the user ID of the current request. It will return 0 and an error when something went wrong.

func ParseToken

func ParseToken(encodedToken string) (*jwt.Token, error)

ParseToken parses the encoded token by verifying if it contains 'Bearer {token}'. The token will be validated as well.
