Separating similar code
So far, we have covered a lot regarding functions since they are a vital aspect of what makes Go successful and flexible as a language. To continue with the idea of making flexible code for others to understand, iterate on, and work with, we will discuss how to expand this mentality.
In the world of software development, organizing code effectively is crucial for creating maintainable and scalable applications. In Go programming, one approach to achieving code organization is by separating related functions into different directories and utilizing multiple packages.
Thus far, we have been working with just one file to understand the fundamentals of Go. However, there is life beyond just a main.go
file. We will briefly discuss ways Go developers keep in mind the reusability and cleanliness of their code, beyond the scope of functions. However, we will keep things at a high level at this point as we dive into the details of this when we cover Go modules...
