Angular and Golang Authentication: Forgot & Reset Password

Install and run the fiber framework for go, inspired by express, by configuring GOPATH, downloading fiber v1, and starting a hello world server on localhost.

Organize a Go project into packages by creating database, routes, and controllers folders, exporting functions with uppercase names, and wiring a GORM-based database connection with fiber.

define a user struct with id, first name, last name, email, and password, place it in models, register via a post endpoint, and test with a tool.

Implement migrations with gorm to create and update the user table, enforcing a unique email, auto migration, and basic fields like id, first name, last name, and password.

learn to add a password hashing package, hash a password with a cost factor, and save the new user to the database using a gorm connection.

Generate a JWT by creating standard claims with the user id, set a one-day expiration, sign with HS256 using a secret, and send it from frontend to backend.

Fetch the authenticated user in the home component via /api/user, handle success and error, display the user's first and last name, or show you are not logged in and logout.

Create a reset password flow with a reset component and a password and password confirm form that posts to reset using token from the route; on success, go to login.
