Objective

Use struct tags to build a form dynamically. Use Go templates to display the form.

Example data

	Email    string `name:"email" desc:"Email address"`
	Phone    string `name:"phone" desc:"Phone number"`
}

Challenge 1

3. Add more user data fields and/or tags that affect behavior (ex: field is required)

Resources:

• Go reflect package
• Go template package
• Sample code

Challenge 2

Validate the form data using struct tags.

Suggested steps:

1. Add valid struct tag to the UserData struct
2. Handle form POST of user data
3. Validate submitted data and display result

Resources:

Challenge 3

Maintain list of users submitted and provide a way to display user data.
