I cloned Drywall from commit
Server side, Gowall is built with the gin framework. We're using MongoDB as a data store.
The front-end is built with Backbone. You can use Grunt for the asset pipeline. Grunt's settings are located in Drywall's repository.

Note: The live demo has been modified so you cannot change the root user, the root user's linked admin role or the root admin group. This was done in order to keep the app ready to use at all times.

You need MongoDB installed and running.
We use mgo
as mongodb driver. If
you have issues with sasl refer to this issue.
We use golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt
for hashing
secrets.
Exetuble file has to be located in the same directory where public is located
First you need to setup your config file. It's located just inside. cmd/gowall/config.example.go I decided that you know better how you want keep your config. It support system environments.
Next, you need a few records in the database to start using the user system.
Run these commands on mongo via the terminal. Obviously you should use your email address.
use Gowall; // or your mongo db name if different
db.admingroups.insert({ _id: 'root', name: 'Root' });
db.admins.insert({ name: {first: 'Root', last: 'Admin', full: 'Root Admin'}, groups: ['root'] });
var rootAdmin = db.admins.findOne();
db.users.save({ username: 'root', isActive: 'yes', email: '[email protected]', roles: {admin: rootAdmin._id} });
var rootUser = db.users.findOne();
rootAdmin.user = { id: rootUser._id, name: rootUser.username };
db.admins.save(rootAdmin);
$ ./gowall
Now just use the reset password feature to set a password.
- Go to
http://localhost:3000/login/forgot/
- Submit your email address and wait a second.
- Go check your email and get the reset link.
http://localhost:3000/login/reset/:email/:token/
- Set a new password.
Login. Customize. Enjoy.
I use exception model for errors from std or third part libraries. If mgo.Query.Find return err != mgo.ErrNotFound I do panic If mgo.ErrNotFound It's common behaviour except some cases when one object is nonsense if other object doesn't exist. (I mean that case when necessary manual update of db) In that case I am doing panic but with my own error description. That sysadmin could see it errors in log. I like go error flow idea but if error has to be written in log i do panic. I created func EXCEPTION(i interface{}) where you can specify your handler/ You can even remove panic from here.
- Create a website and user system.
- Write code in a simple and consistent way.
- Only create minor utilities or plugins to avoid repetitiveness.
- Find and use good tools.

Any issues or questions (no matter how basic), open an issue. Please take the initiative to include basic debugging information like operating system and relevant version details such as:
If you're changing something non-trivial, you may want to submit an issue first.
Big thanks to @jedireza for Drywall!!
