Designing the project's layout
So far, all the code we've written is in the main.go file. While this works fine, it's important to make sure the code is well structured; otherwise, you'll end up with a lot of hidden dependencies and messy code (spaghetti code) when the project grows.
We will start with the data model. Let's create a models folder so that we can store all the models structs. For now, we have one model, which is the Recipe struct. Create a recipe.go file under the models folder and paste the following content:
package models
import (
"time"
"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson/primitive"
)
// swagger:parameters recipes newRecipe
type Recipe struct {
//swagger:ignore
ID primitive.ObjectID `json:"id" bson:"_id"`
