How to create and display HTML dropdown select lists in Go?

To create and display HTML dropdown select lists in Go, you can use the html/template package. Here's an example code:

package main

import (
	"html/template"
	"net/http"
)

type PageData struct {
	Options []string
}

func main() {
	// Define the select options
	options := []string{"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"}

	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		// Create a new instance of the PageData struct and pass the options
		data := PageData{Options: options}

		// Define the HTML template
		tmpl := `
			<html>
			<body>
				<form>
					<select name="dropdown">
						{{range .Options}}
							<option value="{{.}}">{{.}}</option>
						{{end}}
					</select>
					<input type="submit" value="Submit">
				</form>
			</body>
			</html>
		`

		// Parse the template
		t, err := template.New("dropdown").Parse(tmpl)
		if err != nil {
			http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
			return
		}

		// Execute the template with the PageData
		err = t.Execute(w, data)
		if err != nil {
			http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
			return
		}
	})

	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

In this example, we define a PageData struct to store the select options. We create an HTTP handler function that handles the request and response. Inside the handler function, we define an HTML template using the tmpl variable. The {{range .Options}} construct is used to loop over the options and generate the <option> tags dynamically. Finally, we parse and execute the template, passing the data variable to provide the options to the template.

You can run this code by saving it to a file, e.g., main.go, and executing go run main.go in the terminal. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080 to see the HTML dropdown select list with the provided options.
