🛰️ BGCE Server (Backend API)
Welcome to the backend server powering the BGCE (Best Golang Community Ever) archive and control system.
This project serves as the foundation for category management, RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), and future API integrations — all written in Golang with simplicity and scalability in mind.
📁 Project Structure
/server
├── main # Main entry point for the server
├── go.mod # Go module file (defines module path, dependencies)
│
├── /categories # Category API handlers
│ ├── categories.go # HTTP handlers for category management (GET/POST/etc)
│
├── /rbac # Role-Based Access Control logic
│ ├── superadmin.go # RBAC logic to allow/disallow actions based on role
🚀 Getting Started
1. Clone the repo & enter the /server directory
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/bgce-archive.git
cd bgce-archive/server
2. Initialize dependencies (if needed)
go mod tidy
3. Run the server
go run main.go
✅ Server runs on:
http://localhost:8080
🔐 Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
For now, Super Admin check is a simple function in rbac/superadmin.go:
func IsSuperAdmin(r *http.Request) bool
This will later be extended using JWT tokens, sessions, or other proper authentication systems.
🧩 API Endpoints (WIP)
| Endpoint | Method | Description | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
/ | GET | Welcome route | Public |
/categories | GET | List all categories | Super Admin |
/categories | POST | Create a new category | Super Admin |
/categories | PUT | Update a category | Super Admin |
/categories | DELETE | Delete a category | Super Admin |
🤝 Contributing
We welcome PRs, ideas, and improvements! Here’s how to get started:
- Fork the repo
- Create a new branch using:
git switch -c feature/your-feature-name - Add your changes (modular, readable, minimal)
- If adding route logic, place it under
/categories/ - If adding role or auth logic, place it under
/rbac/ - Push and open a PR with a clear title and message
📌 Keep each PR focused — one feature or fix per PR, please!
🔮 Roadmap (WIP Ideas)
- ✅ Clean route structure using
http.ServeMux - 🔐 Real token-based Super Admin checks (JWT/session)
- 📦 Persistent DB (PostgreSQL or SQLite)
- 🧩 Problem management endpoints
- 📊 Admin dashboard (frontend)
- 🔄 JSON response formatting
