Golang WebApp Guide

Template

This is a minor change to the HTML application we had. The following are the major changes that we make;

• move the rendering function, the templates and static files into a separate directory for better organization.
• add context functionality, this allows us to pass data to the templates
• and we are able to pass a list of templates to be rendered.

At this point we also start to make use of our first external package, which is Goji. Goji is a web microframework and provides us with flexible routing and extensible middleware. We will probably make use of one more external package further down.

Usage

Template files are now placed in the template/html directory and statis files are placed in the template/static directory.
