Overview

Snare is an authentication module for Gin applications. It wires login, registration, logout, and auth-state routes with cookie-backed sessions and SQLite-backed user storage.

What It Provides

  • Session-based authentication with gin-contrib/sessions
  • HTML auth pages (/auth/*) rendered with Templ
  • API auth endpoints (/api/auth/*)
  • Route protection middleware for authenticated-only handlers
  • Password hashing with bcrypt

Storage Model

  • User data is persisted in SQLite
  • Session state is managed via cookie store middleware

Route Groups

  • HTML pages for login/register/logout
  • API handlers for login/register/logout/state

Use Snare when you want server-rendered auth plus API endpoints without rebuilding auth plumbing from scratch.
