How to create a photo gallery in Go?
Photo gallery is a way of displaying the different images that are saved at a specific location. Here the different images are uploaded by user in a specified folder. For displaying the images first of all we need to read the directory containing the different images, and there after reading display the images one by one.

}
defer file.Close()
list, _ := file.Readdirnames(0) // 0 to read all files and folders
tpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, "index.gohtml", list)
}
