the reason that i like this tutorial the most is because he actually shows where the code is coming from within the documentation. these other ones, i feel like theyre just pulling it out of their asses and it is so confusing. thank you so much !

out of all the crud videos on golang that i have watched, this is the best one. Is this an accurate representation of how to actually create a golang, or are we not getting introduced something ? i watched akhils tutorial and it was so complicated that i was so lost, but this one seems to do all of the CRUD endpoints and was wondering if I can use this as a reference ?

I am having issue after running migrate file. initializers.DB is coming out as nil. But in ConnectToDB I can establish connection DB. Is there some other platform to address issues like this?

[@xjdn-34-gdndnk-45-aa]

the same for me on 1.22. There is an issue with having DB globally. So golang complains about having DB variable assigned to value but used inside connection func. Now Im trying to return DB var from this functions so I could catch it and define any time I need DB from initializers. Looks like shit, if to be honest

[@xjdn-34-gdndnk-45-aa]

uh, I have fixed my problem. It seems like it is `DB, err :=` instead of `DB, err =`. So in my case it was a problem of a dynamic type defintion

[@chrishabgood8900]

hmm, initializers/Postgres.go:16:2: DB declared but not used

[@codingwithrobby]

DB should be used within the ConnectToDatabase function. Double check your code matches mine. You probably have := instead of just = . Hope this helps!
