I'm learning go and I've recently learned how to leverage gorm to connect to a database. I can't figure out how to import said connection. Only open and defer it's closing in the scope of the func main()
What I have currently:
func main(){
db, _ := gorm.Open("postgres", "host=localhost port=5432 user=someUser dbname=someDB password=somePW sslmode=disable")
defer db.Close()
}
This works fine and I can create tables and do CRUD ... but all in the main function.
Is there anyway I can do something like this(it didn't work) and use it in main:
func db(){
db, _ := gorm.Open("postgres", "host=localhost port=5432 user=someUser dbname=someDB password=somePW sslmode=disable")
defer db.Close()
return db
}
Or define some kind of package that will also allow me to do this.
I know that defer will basically just close the connect once db returns, but hopefully you guys get what I'm going for.
