  • Any way of blocking or preferring a package?
    2 projects | /r/golang | 4 Aug 2023
    I use Google's UUID package a lot. But every time I refer to it in a new package, the language server picks up https://github.com/gofrs/uuid instead of https://github.com/google/uuid and then complains that the gofrs package isn't in go.mod. I assume because it's the first alphabetically (though this seems like a huge supply chain security loophole).

    Just store one single UUID as a token in a client's cookie (use https://github.com/google/uuid for ex), and associate that to a user ID (or anything else relevant in your case), and an expiry date for example
  • Which UUID package do you use? and why?
    6 projects | /r/golang | 13 Jan 2023
    Depends on your needs I think, I generally just use github.com/google/uuid like /u/wowsux mentioned it supports v1 through v5 of the UUID spec.

    github.com/google/uuid just works

    You can see the same naming dilemma in many Go library implementations, i.e., where a package is used to organize functions related to a single a type (https://github.com/google/uuid) vs organizing code of related functionality (https://github.com/golang/go/tree/master/src/math).

    Type inference is not perfect yet (especially for functional options). Also not being able to add type parameters to methods is a bit annoying (can be worked around using package-level functions) but besides that generics fit quite nicely into the library. If type inference gets better then I think I can even remove the hard dependency on github.com/google/uuid and let users use custom types for ids.

    2 projects | /r/golang | 16 Oct 2021
    We are using https://github.com/google/uuid and its method: uuid.NewString(). During our profiling we have found this method to be one of the most expensive calls in our system. Even larger than some of our json.Marshal/UnMarshal code.

    So, we have a field with type uuid.UUID which we create with the package google/uuid, which we want to check with the built-in validator uuid.Parse() of that package. All we need to do is add a new RegisterValidation method to the NewValidator function (described above) with simple logic code:

  • my first golang project!

    My only suggestion, because I haven't seen anyone else mention it, is researching your dependencies. In the app you're using https://github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go, which isn't maintained anymore and in their repo they state that you should use https://github.com/golang-jwt/jwt instead.

    If it is using "github.com/golang-jwt/jwt" under the hood than all you have to do is override the Valid() method on your claims object.

    The boilerplate application uses the dgrijalva / jwt-go library to work with JWTs. Besides the standard set of claims fields, this library allows you to describe additional fields. In the application, this makes it possible to write to the token the ID of the user to whom it was issued. The library supports the NewWithClaims () and Parse () functions used in the AuthHandler application to create and validate tokens. Also, the Echo framework has a JWT middleware that uses the specified library to validate tokens. This middleware is hooked up in the ConfigureRoutes () function of the template application that declares the routing.

  • Which go framework should I learn?
    7 projects | /r/golang | 6 Jan 2021
    I don't use any frameworks, but I don't use stdlib only as well. Every time I do something, I search for some of the most commonly used libraries. For example, I don't think everyone uses stdlib for JWT tokens. People would probably go with https://github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go or choose gorilla mux as a router, same for DB stuff. A lot of people use github.com/jmoiron/sqlx or go.uber.org/zap for logging. But the idea is that you choose the right package and build what makes sense for you. Not relying on a single Framework that maybe doesn't support multiple databases or separating read/write connections, or makes tons of allocations... This is what people mean here. You make conscious choices instead of hoping that some framework has a magic solution for your problems. One of the most critical guiding principles is sticking with stdlib or anything that is stdlib compatible(interfaces).
