A base project for Http GET calls in Go language. In this project I am using net/http package to create a minimal web server and accept GET calls. Then for each call a HTML page is rendered with information.
I am importing the following packages:
- "html/template" : for working with HTML pages
- "log" : for logging
- "net/http" : for web server creation and endpoint handling
- "os" : for information on local machine, specifically here for finding working folder
I am going to use two structs.
The first one is Person which holds information for a person (Name, Surname, Age).
The second one is Page which holds information we are using in our html page. (Massage, Persons array).
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| getWorkingDir | Returns the working directory |
| main | Registers the two endpoints and also listening at port 8080 for incoming requests |
| indexHandler | Handler for "/" endpoint, adds Message information on html page |
| personsHandler | Handler for "/persons" endpoint, adds a list of Persons on htm page |
Remders a Message inside <h1> tags
In case the html was handled by personsHandler, the Persons list has values so the html renders the Person struct information
