So, I can't just do `import "maths"`, because that doesn't seem to resolve. Instead, I have to refer to my entire module name, and then append the path to it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```go
|
||||||
|
import "lewisdale.dev/learn-go/maths"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So now I should be able to use my imported module and call `maths.multiply`, right?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```go
|
||||||
|
func main() {
|
||||||
|
fmt.Println(sayHello())
|
||||||
|
num := maths.multiply(2, 5)
|
||||||
|
fmt.Printf("2 * 5 = %d\n", num)
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
go run main.go
|
||||||
|
> ./main.go:16:15: undefined: maths.multiply
|
||||||
|
```

So, it turns out in Go, there's no explicit export keyword. Instead, if you want a function to be exported [you have to capitalise the first letter](https://go.dev/tour/basics/3). Lowercase functions are implicitly private.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```go
|
||||||
|
// maths.go
|
||||||
|
package maths
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
func Multiply(a, b int) int {
|
||||||
|
return a * b
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And then we can do
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```go
|
||||||
|
// main.go
|
||||||
|
func main() {
|
||||||
|
fmt.Println(sayHello())
|
||||||
|
num := maths.Multiply(2, 5)
|
||||||
|
fmt.Printf("2 * 5 = %d\n", num)
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As a useful extra, the Go plugin on VS Code[^2] even organised my imports into one `import ()` statement:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```go
|
||||||
|
// main.go
|
||||||
|
package main
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
import (
|
||||||
|
"fmt"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"lewisdale.dev/learn-go/maths"
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```

|
When I was looking up how to create and import modules, I did find [this useful StackOverflow comment](https://stackoverflow.com/a/45813698) that mentions that Go > 1.5 has support for a `vendor` directory, that allows you to put code inside a `vendor` directory, and Go will lookup the package without requiring the local module prefix.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm not going to use this, just because I'm probably going to reinvent the wheel a few times over the course of this series and I don't know the standard library well enough[^3] to trust myself to not accidentally tread all over it, but it's good to know it's there.

[^1]: Yes, maths, not math
|
||||||
|
[^2]: It was less helpful when it kept auto-deleting my import before I did the export though, had to use Vim just to make my point.
|
||||||
|
[^3]: Or like, at all.
