user-go

user-go

A gRPC-based user management system implemented in Go that provides authentication, user CRUD operations, and session management.

Features

• User authentication (login/logout)
• User CRUD operations
• Session management with JWT tokens
• Email validation
• Role-based access (Admin/SuperAdmin)
• Health check endpoint
• PostgreSQL database integration

Prerequisites

• Go 1.21 or higher
• PostgreSQL database
• Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc)

Installation

1. Install Protocol Buffers Compiler

Linux (using apt):

apt install -y protobuf-compiler
protoc --version  # Ensure compiler version is 3+

MacOS (using Homebrew):

brew install protobuf
protoc --version  # Ensure compiler version is 3+
go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest

2. Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

PROJECT_PORT_USER=50051
POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
POSTGRES_DB=your_db_name
POSTGRES_USER=your_db_user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_db_password
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
RandomStringValidation=your_random_string
SizeRandomStringValidation=32
RandomStringValidationRefresh=your_random_string_refresh
SizeRandomStringValidationRefresh=10
Issuer=your_app_name
JWT_KEY=your_jwt_secret
TOKEN_EXPIRATION_TIME=600 #ten minutes
TOKEN_EXPIRATION_TIME_REFRESH=604800 #seven days
ENV=local

3. Running the Server

go run server/*.go

4. Running the Client

go run client/client.go

API Overview

The service provides the following gRPC endpoints:

• Create: Register a new user
• Get: Retrieve user by ID
• Update: Update user profile
• Delete: Delete user account
• List: List all users
• Login: Authenticate user
• LogOut: End user session
• Validate: Validate user email
• GetByEmail: Retrieve user by email
• TokenToUser: Convert JWT token to user information
• Refresh: Refresh JWT token

Client Usage Example

// Create a new gRPC client connection
conn, err := grpc.Dial("localhost:50051", grpc.WithTransportCredentials(insecure.NewCredentials()))
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Failed to connect: %v", err)
}
defer conn.Close()

// Create a new user client
client := pb.NewUserClient(conn)

// Example: Create a new user
user := &pb.UserRequest{
    Email:    "test@example.com",
    Name:     "Test User",
}

response, err := client.Create(context.Background(), user)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Failed to create user: %v", err)
}

Health Checking

The service includes a gRPC health checking mechanism that allows clients to monitor the server's health status.

Using the Health Check

The health check provides a simple way to verify if the server is running and ready to handle requests. This can be useful for:

• Load balancers to determine service availability
• Monitoring systems to track service health
• Client applications to check server status before making requests
