Go newbie: how to organize code

<p>Hello, I&#39;m new to Go, and i have some doubts about how to organize code. I don&#39;t know if I understand packages correctly. Let&#39;s asume that I&#39;m making a rest api, and I wanna organize my code by functionality. Will be this organization correct?</p> <pre><code>main.go users/users.go </code></pre> <p>users.go will contain all user code: types, handler functions... And in main.go I will import this package as &#34;[fullpath]/users&#34;</p> <p>Is this correct? If not, what will be the correct way of doing this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>nstratos: <pre><p>Hello,</p> <p>This is a common question in the Go community. Please <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/56wk4v/structuring_go_api/d8n4axl/" rel="nofollow">read my previous answer</a> on a similar topic.</p> <blockquote> <p>Will be this organization correct?</p> <pre><code>main.go users/users.go </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>I believe that instead of a generic package name <code>users</code> which would lead to <code>users.User</code>, it would be better if you used a package name that is relevant to your application or domain. So for example if your application is called <code>dpe</code> then you would have <code>dpe.User</code>.</p> <p>Using a single <code>main.go</code> on the root of your project is a common way to start a project. If later you decide that you need more commands, you might want to do something like this:</p> <pre><code>cmd/dpetool/main.go cmd/dpeserver/main.go dpe/users.go </code></pre> <p>A good project to draw inspiration about code organization is <a href="https://github.com/upspin/upspin" rel="nofollow">Upspin</a>.</p></pre>dp404e: <pre><p>Thanks a lot!
