The last code you need to write is a main package with a main function to start your server. In the root directory of your project, create a cmd/server directory tree, and in the server directory create a file named main.go with this code:

Our main function just needs to create and start the server, passing in the address to listen on (localhost:8080) and telling the server to listen for and handle requests by calling ListenAndServe. Wrapping our server with the *net/http.Server in NewHTTPServer saved us from writing a bunch of code here — and anywhere else we’d create an HTTP server.

It’s time to test our slick new service.
