main

We're going to set up our main function, or at least stub it out and then define our server definitions.

import (
    "log/slog"
    "net/http"
    "os"
    "time"
)

func main() {

The Deets

Let's actually call our logger first, this part is uninteresting, this is what we defined in the bootstrap.

initLogger()

The server error logger is also configured to use the slog logger.

Server Address

And we can get the PORT we're running on from the environment, defaulting to 8080.

var addr string
if port := os.Getenv("PORT"); port != "" {
	addr = ":" + port
} else {
	addr = ":8080"
}

Defining the server

You'll notice the routes definition in the call, this is defined here.

This is a function that returns a standard http.Handler.

This main function body is just boilerpate for serving requests.

s := &http.Server{
	Addr:    addr,
	Handler: routes(), // <- the handler!

	// logging
	ErrorLog: slog.NewLogLogger(
		slog.Default().Handler(), slog.LevelWarn,
	),

	// timeouts
	ReadTimeout:  1 * time.Second,
	WriteTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
	IdleTimeout:  5 * time.Second,
}

slog.Info("starting server", "addr", addr)
if err := s.ListenAndServe(); err != nil {
	slog.Error("server stopped", slog.String("err", err.Error()))
}

Closing main:
