```
### Installation
Postgres is tested on the 2 last [Go versions](https://golang.org/dl/) with support for modules. So make sure to initialize one first if you didn't do that yet:
```bash
go mod init github.com/<user>/<repo>
```
And then install the postgres implementation:
```bash
go get github.com/gofiber/storage/postgres/v3
```

### Examples
Import the storage package.
```go
import "github.com/gofiber/storage/postgres/v3"
```

You can use the following possibilities to create a storage:
```go
// Initialize default config
store := postgres.New()

// Initialize custom config
store := postgres.New(postgres.Config{
	Db:              dbPool,
	Table:           "fiber_storage",
	Reset:           false,
	GCInterval:      10 * time.Second,
})
```

### Config
```go
// Config defines the config for storage.
type Config struct {
	// DB pgxpool.Pool object will override connection uri and other connection fields
	//
	// Optional. Default is nil
	DB *pgxpool.Pool

	// Connection string to use for DB. Will override all other authentication values if used
	//
	// Optional. Default is ""
	ConnectionURI string

	// Host name where the DB is hosted
	//
	// Optional. Default is "127.0.0.1"
	Host string

	// Port where the DB is listening on
	//
	// Optional. Default is 5432
	Port int

	// Server username
	//
	// Optional. Default is ""
	Username string

	// Server password
	//
	// Optional. Default is ""
	Password string

	// Database name
	//
	// Optional. Default is "fiber"
	Database string

	// Table name
	//
	// Optional. Default is "fiber_storage"
	Table string

	// The SSL mode for the connection
	//
	// Optional. Default is "disable"
	SSLMode string

	// Reset clears any existing keys in existing Table
	//
	// Optional. Default is false
	Reset bool

	// Time before deleting expired keys
	//
	// Optional. Default is 10 * time.Second
	GCInterval time.Duration
}
```

### Default Config
```go
// ConfigDefault is the default config
var ConfigDefault = Config{
	ConnectionURI: "",
	Host:          "127.0.0.1",
	Port:          5432,
	Database:      "fiber",
	Table:         "fiber_storage",
	SSLMode:       "disable",
	Reset:         false,
	GCInterval:    10 * time.Second,
}
