Installation

go get github.com/FusionAuth/go-client/pkg/fusionauth

Example Usage

The following example uses the FusionAuth Go client to create a request handling function that logs in a user:

package example

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "net/http"
    "net/url"
    "time"
    
    "github.com/FusionAuth/go-client/pkg/fusionauth"
)

const host = "http://localhost:9011"

var apiKey = "YOUR_FUSIONAUTH_API_KEY"
var httpClient = &http.Client{
	Timeout: time.Second * 10,
}

var baseURL, _ = url.Parse(host)

// Construct a new FusionAuth Client
var auth = fusionauth.NewClient(httpClient, baseURL, apiKey)

// Login logs in the user using the FusionAuth Go client library
func Login() http.HandlerFunc {
    return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        // Read response body
        var credentials fusionauth.LoginRequest
        defer r.Body.Close()
        json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&credentials)
        // Use FusionAuth Go client to log in the user
        authResponse, errors, err := auth.Login(credentials)
        if err != nil {
            http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
            return
        }
        // Write the response from the FusionAuth client as JSON
        var responseJSON []byte
        if errors != nil {
            responseJSON, err = json.Marshal(errors)
        } else {
            responseJSON, err = json.Marshal(authResponse)
        }
        if err != nil {
            http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
            return
        }
        w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
        w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
        w.Write(responseJSON)
    })
}

You can also call the API directly without logging a user in. This code uses an API key to determine the number of tenants in a FusionAuth installation.

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "net/url"
    "time"
    "fmt"
    
    "github.com/FusionAuth/go-client/pkg/fusionauth"
)

const host = "http://localhost:9011"

var apiKey = "API KEY"
var httpClient = &http.Client{
    Timeout: time.Second * 10,
}

func main() {
    var baseURL, _ = url.Parse(host)

    // Construct a new FusionAuth Client
    var client = fusionauth.NewClient(httpClient, baseURL, apiKey)
    
    // for production code, don't ignore the error!
    tenantResponse, _ := client.RetrieveTenants()
    
    fmt.Print(len(tenantResponse.Tenants))
}

Testing source builds

If you are modifying the go client and want to test it locally, follow these steps:

go to directory where you have go code checked out.

mkdir test2
cd test2
go mod init example.com/test/fusionauth
go mod tidy
vi test.go # put in your test code, in the main package

Then edit go.mod and add these lines at the bottom:

require (
        github.com/FusionAuth/go-client v1.0.0
)

replace (
        github.com/FusionAuth/go-client v1.0.0 => ../go-client
)

Then you can run it: go run test.go # or go build
