We can use channels to synchronize execution across goroutines. Here’s an example of using a blocking receive to wait for a goroutine to finish. When waiting for multiple goroutines to finish, you may prefer to use a WaitGroup.

main.go

package main

import "fmt"
import "time"

func worker(done chan bool) {
    fmt.Print("working...")
    time.Sleep(time.Second)
    fmt.Println("done")

    // Send a value to notify that we're done.
    done <- true
}

func main() {

    // Start a worker goroutine, giving it the channel to
    // notify on.
    done := make(chan bool, 1)
    go worker(done)

    // Block until we receive a notification from the
    // worker on the channel.
    <-done
}
