I'm building a simple app and after reading the doc on structuring go applications, I'm still confused.
I want this structure:
- practice
- models (packaged as models)
- a
- b
- routers (packaged as routers)
- a
- b
- models (packaged as models)
app.go
Inside of app.go
, I have the following:
package main
import (
"net/http"
// I have tried the following:
"practice/models/a"
"practice/models/b"
"practice/models"
"$GOPATH/practice/models/a"
"$GOPATH/practice/models/b"
"$GOPATH/practice/models"
...
)
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/a", AHandler)
http.HandleFunc("/b", BHandler)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
The A and B models look like this:
package models
import "net/http"
func AHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// code
}
Two questions:
What in the world is the right way to import these files? Do I really have to push them to github in order to be able to reference them? I understand the $GOPATH is the namespace for the entire go workspace on a local machine. My $GOPATH is set to include this directory.
Do I need to define a main method inside of these files? Can I just export a single function and have that be the handling function?
Thanks.
I have consulted the docs
