Go Code Snippets


Static File Server

A simple static file server that binds to localhost. Use --port (-p) to specify the port and --dir (-d) to specify the directory, otherwise it'll default to port 3000 and the current working directory, respectively.

Parse a SQL Connection URI

A function for easily converting a SQL connection URI to a flavor and connection details that can be passed directly into Go's sql.Open() function.

Simple Unit Test

This is what a basic unit test looks like in Go. It must exist in a file named with the form *_test.go, and the name of each test must follow the form TestXxx where the first letter after "Test" is capitalized. Execute go test in the terminal to run unit tests. A t.Error(str) is equivalent to a t.Log(str) followed by a t.Fail().
