Go web applications typically use a package-based structure with `main`, `model`, `sql`, `http`, and `html` packages. This organization separates concerns—models for data, sql for database access, http for handlers, and html for templates—making code maintainable and testable.
Go projects should implement table-driven tests, subtests, and integration tests with real dependencies using Docker and database fixtures. This comprehensive approach validates both unit behavior and integration points, catching bugs earlier and ensuring reliability.
Dependency injection in Go involves passing dependencies (databases, HTTP clients, LLM services) as function parameters or struct fields rather than using global state. This pattern improves testability, reduces coupling, and makes components easier to mock and test in isolation.
Follow idiomatic Go conventions: use meaningful variable names, write concise documentation, organize packages logically, and enforce standards with linters like golangci-lint. Consistent style across your codebase improves readability and reduces maintenance overhead.
Yes, Go supports both. Libraries follow similar architectural principles as applications—using clear package layouts, comprehensive testing with table-driven tests and subtests, and dependency injection. This ensures your library is composable, testable, and follows Go conventions.
