Go Controller Roles

About

This skill provides specialized guidance for implementing secure backend controllers in Go by leveraging the helpers.RoleHandler pattern. It enables developers to define complex access rules, map multiple roles to specific handlers, and manage a clear role hierarchy ranging from administrative access to unauthenticated requests. By automating session extraction and user role verification, this skill ensures that API endpoints are protected with consistent permission logic and provides intelligent fallback behaviors for different privilege levels.

Key Features

• Support for mixed-role responses on a single route
• Hierarchical RBAC mapping for API handlers
• Automatic session extraction and context injection
• 0 GitHub stars
• Standardized 401 Unauthorized error handling
• Smart fallback logic for lower-privilege handler matching

Use Cases

• Creating administrative dashboards with read-only and full-access permissions
• Securing user-specific endpoints that require authentication
• Building public APIs with tiered access for different membership levels
