# Golang
* Prefer composition over inheritance (no inheritance in Go).
* Use error values, not exceptions.
* Keep functions short and focused.

## Naming

* **Types/Functions**: PascalCase (e.g. **SignInAPI**, **UserService**)
* **Variables/Fields**: camelCase (e.g. **userObj**, **input.Body**)
* **Packages**: snake_case (e.g. **auth_api**, **users_api**)

## Imports

1. Standard library
2. Third-party (e.g. **github.com/danielgtaylor/huma/v2**)
3. Internal packages (**api-go/...**)
