Authentication Package

The auth directory contains all code related to user authentication. This module is intentionally kept separate from the rest of the application logic, as it is generally the only section that can be accessed without prior authentication.

The directory includes the following files:

• login.go: Manages user authentication routes. It defines the LoginFormValue struct for capturing login form data and includes validation logic. The RegisterLoginRoutes function sets up the /login and /logout routes:

  • /login GET: Renders the login page.
  • /login POST: Processes login form submissions, validates credentials, and handles authentication. If authentication fails, it re-renders the login form with error messages.
  • /logout POST: Clears the authentication cookie and redirects the user to the login page.

  This file integrates with Echo for routing, Pocketbase for user management, and Templ for rendering components.

• login.templ: Contains the HTML/HTMX code for the login page.

• register.go: Manages user registration routes. It defines the RegisterFormValue struct for capturing registration form data and includes validation logic. The RegisterRegisterRoutes function sets up the /register route:

  • /register GET: Renders the registration page.
  • /register POST: Processes registration form submissions, validates the input, and creates a new user. If validation or registration fails, it re-renders the form with error messages.
