@Rethakgetse-Manaka there are already some sanitization functions on the backend. I shall reference them below so that you don't have to rewrite them again:

  1. We have validateEmail -> https://github.com/COS301-SE-2024/occupi/blob/develop/occupi-backend/pkg/utils/utils.go#L98
  2. We have validatePassword -> https://github.com/COS301-SE-2024/occupi/blob/develop/occupi-backend/pkg/utils/utils.go#L105
  3. We have validateOTP -> https://github.com/COS301-SE-2024/occupi/blob/develop/occupi-backend/pkg/utils/utils.go#L138
  4. There is an input sanitizer here which prevents XSS attacks by removing malicious js scripts for example -> https://github.com/COS301-SE-2024/occupi/blob/develop/occupi-backend/pkg/utils/utils.go#L92

I am not sure if this will help you in what you are trying to achieve but I just thought I would make you aware at the very least
