view

Overview ¶

Package view implements a basic template system on top of html/template package. The package require a special structed folder like this example:

path/to/template/
├── christmas
│   ├── page1.tmpl
│   ├── page2.tmpl
│   └── shared
│       ├── menu.tmpl
│       └── layout.tmpl
└── default
    ├── page1.tmpl
    ├── page2.tmpl
    └── shared
        ├── menu.tmpl
        └── layout.tmpl

Assuming your template folder located at path/to/template. There is some rules with this folder:

In the template folder should contain some sub-folder called view-set.
Each view-set shloud contain some xyz.tmpl (where xyz is the file name) and a folder name "shared".
In the "shared" folder must contain a file "layout.tmpl" (all the template file must end with .tmpl).

There is some rules for "xyz.tmpl" files:

All the contain of the file must in the {{define "page"}} ... {{end}} block.
You can call the shared content (insert the content of the tmpl file in shared folder) by {{template "menu.tmpl"}} etc.

The "layout.tmpl" in shared folder is the main layout. The content of "xyz.tmpl" files should be embedded in this file. You must put {{template "page" .}} some where in this file.
