   The function <varname> buildGoModule </varname> builds Go programs managed with Go modules. It builds a <link xlink:href="https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules">Go modules</link> through a two phase build:

    <listitem>
     <para>
      An intermediate fetcher derivation. This derivation will be used to fetch all of the dependencies of the Go module.
     </para>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      A final derivation will use the output of the intermediate derivation to build the binaries and produce the final output.

     <para>
      <varname>vendorSha256</varname> is the hash of the output of the intermediate fetcher derivation.

    <callout arearefs='ex-buildGoModule-3'>
     <para>
      <varname>deleteVendor</varname> removes the pre-existing vendor directory and fetches the dependencies. This should only be used if the dependencies included in the vendor folder are broken or incomplete.
     </para>
    </callout>
    <callout arearefs='ex-buildGoModule-4'>
     <para>
      <varname>runVend</varname> runs the vend command to generate the vendor directory. This is useful if your code depends on c code and go mod tidy does not include the needed sources to build.

    </callout>
   </calloutlist>
  </para>

  <para>
    <varname>vendorSha256</varname> can also take <varname>null</varname> as an input.

    When `null` is used as a value, rather than fetching the dependencies
    and vendoring them, we use the vendoring included within the source repo.
    If you'd like to not have to update this field on dependency changes,
    run `go mod vendor` in your source repo and set 'vendorSha256 = null;'
