Adapted from RPC-based plugins in Go by Eli Bendersky 🚀

Overview ⚙️

Golang Plugin development + testing using the go-plugin package from HashiCorp

Quick Start ⚡

1. Start the Server

First start the server:

➜ git clone https://github.com/ohsu-comp-bio/plugins

➜ cd plugins

➜ make
Building ./authorize...OK

➜ ./authorize
Listening on http://localhost:8080

2. Send Requests

In another terminal, send the request using of the example users below:

➜ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer Alyssa P. Hacker" http://localhost:8080

User: Alyssa P. Hacker, Token: <Alyssa's Secret> ✅

Here's an example of a user that's not found by the plugin (representing an Unauthorized user):

➜ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer Foobar" http://localhost:8080

Error: User Foobar not found ❌

Example Users ✍️

Example users may be found in example-users.csv:

• Alyssa P. Hacker, a Lisp hacker
• Ben Bitdiddle
• Cy D. Fect, a "reformed C programmer"
• Eva Lu Ator
• Lem E. Tweakit
