Package main is a bit special. Its not meant to be split across multiple files.

Either you need to specify each file when compiling, or you need to split into different packages.

no, I have this structure of project

[folder]
–main.go
–db.go

how I can properly import file db.go in main.go?

I know if I manually copy and paste file db.go in go path directory this will be worked…

but what if I just want to split the project into small files ?? How to correctly access the file in the same directory?

src/
| db/

| main.go

db/db.go

package db

func Fn() string {
	return "Hello!"
}

main.go

package main

import (
	"db"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(db.Fn())
}

Here’s a little breakdown of separating code into packages from GoStart. GitHub - alco/gostart: A getting started guide for Go newcomers

A main package allows only one main function to be defined, so you’ll need to choose one single file from your main package to put it in.

See @luk4z7 for the solution, which is to create a db package and define your function in that package, import it into your main package.
