@Coding_Yaz

.\server.go:16:2: undefined: AddApproutes

Because there is no AddApproutes defined in server.go. The main package is special, it doesn’t automatically join all files in the same folder. You need to create another package, move that function there, import it from server.go.

As they are in the same package you only need to specify the routes.go file in your run or build command linel, say go run main.go routes.go

I get this error when I add go run main.go routes.go

.\routes.go:14:32: undefined: RenderHome
.\routes.go:16:46: undefined: SendEmailHandler

[Yamil_Bracho]

You need to create RenderHome and SendEmailHandler functions. For example

> func RenderHome(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
> 
> w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
> 
> fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, World!")
> 
> }
> 
> func SendEmailHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
> 
> }
