Go Web Development with net/http

Introduction
Go's net/http package provides everything needed to build reliable and fast web servers with

minimal dependencies.

Setting Up a Simple Web Server


package main

import (

"fmt"

"net/http"

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to Go Web Server!")

func main() {

http.HandleFunc("/", handler)

fmt.Println("Server is running at http://localhost:8080")

http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)

Routing Basics
http.HandleFunc("/about", aboutHandler)

http.HandleFunc("/contact", contactHandler)
Serving Static Files
fs := http.FileServer(http.Dir("./static"))

http.Handle("/static/", http.StripPrefix("/static/", fs))

Handling Forms and Query Params


func formHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

if err := r.ParseForm(); err != nil {

fmt.Fprintf(w, "ParseForm() err: %v", err)

return

name := r.FormValue("name")

fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello %s", name)

Middleware and Logging


func loggingMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {

return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

log.Println(r.RequestURI)

next.ServeHTTP(w, r)

})

JSON APIs with net/http


func apiHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")

json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]string{"message": "Hello JSON!"})

}
Structuring a Go Web Project
/project

/handlers

home.go

about.go

/static

/templates

main.go

Deployment Tips
- Use systemd, Docker, or nginx

- Set proper timeouts in http.Server

- Consider HTTPS with Let's Encrypt
