The last code you need to write is a main package with a main function to start your server. In the root directory of your project, create a cmd/server directory tree, and in the server directory create a file named main.go with this code:
| | package main |
| | |
| | import ( |
| | "log" |
| | |
| | "github.com/travisjeffery/proglog/internal/server" |
| | ) |
| | |
| | func main() { |
| | srv := server.NewHTTPServer(":8080") |
| | log.Fatal(srv.ListenAndServe()) |
| | } |
Our main function just needs to create and start the server, passing in the address to listen on (localhost:8080) and telling the server to listen for and handle requests by calling ListenAndServe. Wrapping our server with the *net/http.Server in NewHTTPServer saved us from writing a bunch of code here—and anywhere else we’d create an HTTP server.
It’s time to test our slick new service.
