# PostgreSQL Store
[](https://github.com/xyproto/pstore/actions/workflows/test.yml) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/xyproto/pstore) [](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xyproto/pstore/main/LICENSE)
Middleware for keeping track of users, login states and permissions.
Uses [PostgreSQL](https://postgresql.org) for the database. For using [Redis](http://redis.io) as a backend instead, look into [permissions2](https://github.com/xyproto/permissions2).
There is also a [BoltDB](https://github.com/xyproto/permissionbolt) and [MariaDB/MySQL](https://github.com/xyproto/permissionsql) backend. They are interchangeable.
Online API Documentation
------------------------
[godoc.org](https://godoc.org/github.com/xyproto/pstore)
Connecting
----------
For connecting to a PostgreSQL host that is running locally, the `New` function can be used. For connecting to a remote server, the `NewWithDSN` function can be used.
Features and limitations
------------------------
* Uses secure cookies and stores user information in a PostgreSQL database.
* Suitable for connecting to a local or remote PostgreSQL server, registering/confirming users and managing public/user/admin pages.
* Supports registration and confirmation via generated confirmation codes.
* Tries to keep things simple.
* Only supports "public", "user" and "admin" permissions out of the box, but offers functionality for implementing more fine grained permissions, if so desired.
* Supports [Negroni](https://github.com/codegangsta/negroni), [Martini](https://github.com/go-martini/martini), [Gin](https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin), [Goji](https://github.com/zenazn/goji) and plain `net/http`.
* Should also work with other frameworks, since the standard http.HandlerFunc is used everywhere.
* The default permissions can be cleared with the Clear() function.

Default permissions
-------------------
* The */admin* path prefix has admin rights by default.
* These path prefixes has user rights by default: */repo* and */data*
* These path prefixes are public by default: */*, */login*, */register*, */style*, */img*, */js*, */favicon.ico*, */robots.txt* and */sitemap_index.xml*
The default permissions can be cleared with the `Clear()` function.
Coding style
------------
* The code shall always be formatted with `go fmt`.
Password hashing
----------------
* bcrypt is used by default for hashing passwords. sha256 is also supported.
* By default, all new password will be hashed with bcrypt.
* For backwards compatibility, old password hashes with the length of a sha256 hash will be checked with sha256. To disable this behavior, and only ever use bcrypt, add this line: `userstate.SetPasswordAlgo("bcrypt")`
Passing userstate between functions, files and to other Go packages
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the `*pinterface.IUserState` type (from the [pinterface](https://github.com/xyproto/pinterface) package) makes it possible to pass UserState structs between functions, also in other packages. By using this interface, it is possible to seamlessly change the database backend from, for instance, Redis ([permissions2](https://github.com/xyproto/permissions2)) to BoltDB ([permissionbolt](https://github.com/xyproto/permissionbolt)).
[pstore](https://github.com/xyproto/pstore), [permissionsql](https://github.com/xyproto/permissionsql), [permissionbolt](https://github.com/xyproto/permissionbolt) and [permissions2](https://github.com/xyproto/permissions2) are interchangeable.
Retrieving the underlying PostgreSQL database
---------------------------------------------
Here is a short example application for retrieving the underlying PostgreSQL database:
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/xyproto/pstore"
"github.com/xyproto/simplehstore"
)
func main() {
perm, err := pstore.New()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Could not open database")
return
}
ustate := perm.UserState()
// A bit of checking is needed, since the database backend is interchangeable
if pustate, ok := ustate.(*pstore.UserState); ok {
if host, ok := pustate.Host().(*simplehstore.Host); ok {
db := host.Database()
fmt.Printf("PostgreSQL database: %v (%T)\n", db, db)
}
} else {
fmt.Println("Not using the PostgreSQL database backend")
}
}
```
