Go-based RMS-server Application

Backend server for a Recruitment Management System

Features

1. Code Quality: The codebase adheres to clean code practices, emphasizing modularity and readability.
2. Redis Database: Uses Redis as a database for storing user information and logs.
3. JWT Token Authentication: Uses JWT for user authentication.
4. Middleware: Utilizes middleware to enhance functionality, such as JWT authentication and role-based access control.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Go 1.16 or higher
• Redis

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/OPC-16/RMS-server
   cd RMS-server

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy

3. Run Redis server (if not already running):

   redis-server

   or

   docker run -p 6379:6379 redis:latest

4. Build and run the application:

   go run main.go

Usage

Echo Server

This project uses the Echo web framework for routing and middleware.

Redis Database

User information and logs are stored in Redis, ensuring fast and efficient data retrieval.

JWT Token Authentication

JWT tokens are used to authenticate users. After signing up, users receive a token upon logging in, which they must include in subsequent requests.

Middleware

Middleware functions are used to:

• Authenticate users using JWT tokens.
• Restrict access to certain routes based on user roles (e.g., only admins can access specific routes).

Routes

1. Signup: /signup

   curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/signup -d '{"name":"Alice","email":"[email protected]","password":"password123","usertype":"Applicant"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"

2. Login: /login

   curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/login -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"password123"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"

3. Post a Job: /admin/job

   curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/admin/job -H "Authorization: Bearer your_jwt_token_here" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title": "Go Developer", "description": "Develop go applications"}'

4. Upload Resume: /uploadResume

   curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer your_jwt_token_here" localhost:3000/uploadResume

Code Structure
