Out sample templates directory has three templates in a nested structure.
teamplates/
├── base
│ ├── billing.html
│ ├── dashboard.html
└── base.html
Let's take a look at the three templates.
{{/* base.html */}}
<html>
<head>
<title>Go Web Programming</title>
</head>
<body>
{{ template "content" }}
</body>
</html>
{{/* billing.html */}}
{{define "content"}}
This is billing
{{end}}
{{/* dashboard.html */}}
{{define "content"}}
This is the dashboard
{{end}}
Extendplate ensures the billing and dashboard template inherit from the base template, inferring the hierarchy from the folder layout.
package main
import (
"os"
"github.com/stackmachine/extendplate"
)
func main() {
ts, _ := extendplate.ParseDir("templates", "*.html", nil)
tmpl := ts.Lookup("base/dashboard.html")
tmpl.Execute(os.Stdout, nil)
// <html>
// <head>
// <title>Go Web Programming</title>
// </head>
// <body>
// This is the dashboard
// </body>
// </html>
}
