We are going to put together an ultra-simple web client that consumes the capabilities and data exposed through our API, allowing users to interact with the polling system we built in the previous chapter and earlier in this chapter. Our client will be made up of three web pages:

Create a new folder called web alongside the api folder, and add the following content to the main.go file:

package main
import (
  "flag"
  "log"
  "net/http"
)
func main() {
  var addr = flag.String("addr", ":8081", "website address")
  flag.Parse()
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.Handle("/", http.StripPrefix("/", 
    http.FileServer(http.Dir("public"))))
  log.Println("Serving website at:", *addr)
  http.ListenAndServe(*addr, mux)
}

These few lines of Go code really highlight the beauty of the language and the Go standard library...
