# JWT Authentication in Golang
This project demonstrates how to implement JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication in a Golang web application using Gin framework.
## Features
- User signup: Users can register by providing a username, email, and password.
- User login: Registered users can log in using their email and password.
- JWT Authentication: JWT is used to generate and authenticate user tokens for secure access to protected routes.
## Prerequisites
- Go (v1.16 or later)
- PostgreSQL (v9.5 or later)
## Getting Started
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/CABON-TECH/jwt-auth-in-golang.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd jwt-auth-in-golang
```
3. Install dependencies:
```bash
go mod tidy
```
4. Set up the PostgreSQL database:
- Create a PostgreSQL database named `jwt_db`.
- Update the database connection details in `initializers/connectDB.go` file.
5. Set environment variables:
Create a `.env` file in the root directory and define the following environment variables:
```plaintext
SECRET=your-secret-key
