GoFr-Soc: Template Track - Account Service with RBAC

[Quantifier58]

Hi GoFr Team,
I’m excited to start work on my project for the Templates Track: Account Service with RBAC.
I’ll be building a reusable Account Service template for GoFr, providing secure user management and role-based access control (RBAC) as a plug-and-play backend service. The goal is to make it easy for any GoFr project to add sign-up, login, and fine-grained permissions out of the box.

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/Quantifier58/gofr-account-rbac

What I plan to build in my first PR:

• Set up the project repository with Go modules, Docker-Compose, and CI workflow.
• Create the initial database schema and migrations for the users table.
• Implement user registration (sign-up) and user retrieval endpoints.
• Add secure password hashing using bcrypt.
• Write unit tests for these endpoints.
• Provide a simple Postman/cURL collection for testing.

Planned completion: July 11
Deliverables:

• Working repo with project structure and CI.
• Users table migration.
• User registration and retrieval endpoints with secure password storage.
• Unit tests for implemented endpoints.
• Sample request collection and basic documentation.

Hey Cool !

You can add me as a collaborator on the same github repo for PR reviews. We can discuss on the issue board there and link those in these discussions.

Thanks !

@Quantifier58 Any updates ?

[Quantifier58]

Yes, I’ve uploaded the code to the repository and sent you an invitation to join as a collaborator. I’ve been trying to set up the registration endpoints, but I’m running into a type error when passing "pgxpool" to "postgres.WithInstance". So, I attempted to run the migrations using CLI, but I haven’t been successful. The migrate command fails to execute, even though I’ve provided the correct credentials.

@Quantifier58, Please don't directly upload the code ...Alsways create a PR . MAke two branches ..one as development and another as main.

Do all the changes in development and after my approval merge it to main through pull requests. Can you again sent me an invite in case I am still not a collaborator. The previous one would have gotten expired by now.

[coolwednesday]

@Quantifier58 In case you run in blocker create a issue in gofr's original Repo and tag me there with the link to your repo.

@Quantifier58 , Please address the following issue : Quantifier58/gofr-account-rbac#2

[Quantifier58]

I've reset the main branch and pushed the updated code to the development branch. The Postgres pool connection error has been resolved, and the service is now running smoothly.
Hence, the first PR has been completed.
Apologies for the delayed update!
Also, I’ve sent a collaborator request— @coolwednesday , could you please review the code when you get a chance...
