Hi ,
Thank you for sharing.


Could I ask you more question ?
I am trying to deploy it on Heroku.

But it shows :
github.com/{myname}/fiber-mongo-api/configs
! Push rejected, failed to compile Go app.
! Push failed

What should I do to make it able to run on Heroku server?

try reinstalling the package using: "go get -u github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"

why using a dedicated file for every response type ?
maybe putting all the responses types in one file would be better

This way of coding is absolutely NOT how go is meant to be used. You are supposed to convert your functions in methods and implement interfaces in your packages.
