Today, we’re going to learn how to load static files in Go. We’ll access to CSS & image from our application.

Project Structure

This is our project’s folder structure:

Load Files

We’ll use http.FileServer function to load the assets files and http.Handle function to set prefix.

package main

import "net/http"

func main() {
    fs := http.FileServer(http.Dir("assets/"))
    http.Handle("/static/", http.StripPrefix("/static/", fs))

    http.ListenAndServe(":80", nil)
}

If we run the project, the project will run on port 80. After running the project, we can access the CSS and images like:

// css
http://localhost/static/css/styles.css
// images
http://localhost/static/images/logo.png
