Import

We are writing Go code is often used to Import This command is used to import package files, which we often see in the following ways:

Import

"FMT"

)

Then we can call the code in the following way

Fmt. Println ("Hello World")

above this fmt is The standard library of Go language, is actually to go GOROOT environment variable specified directory to load the module, of course, the import of Go also supports the following two ways to load their own modules:

1. relative Path

import "./model"// the current file in the same directory Model directory, but this is not a recommended way to Import

2. Absolute Path

import "Shorturl/model"// Loading Gopath/src/shorturl/model Module

The above shows some Import commonly used in several ways, but there are some special Import , let a lot of novice very confusing, below we come one by one explain what is the matter

1. Point Operation

We sometimes see the following ways to import packages

Import

. "FMT"

)

this point operation means that after the package is imported, you can omit the prefix's package name when you call the package's function, which is the one you called earlier FMT. Println ("HelloWorld") can be omitted as written Println ("HelloWorld")

2. alias Operation

Alias operation as the name implies, we can name the package another one that we remember easily.

Import

F "FMT"

)

alias operation the prefix becomes our prefix when calling the package function, i.e. f.println ("HelloWorld")

3. _ operation

This operation is often confusing for many people an operator, see the following Import

Import (

"Database/sql"

_ "Github.com/ziutek/mymysql/godrv"

)

_ The operation is actually to introduce the package, instead of directly using the function inside the package, instead of invoking the package inside the Init function.
