How to pass just a variable (not a struct member) into text/html template. Golang
Yes just use the dot in front of it:
http://play.golang.org/p/7NXu9SDiik
package main
import (
"html/template"
"log"
"os"
)
var tmplString = ` // content of index.html
{{define "index"}}
{{.var1}} is equal to {{.var2}}
{{end}}
`
func main() {
tmpl, err := template.New("test").Parse(tmplString)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
varmap := map[string]interface{}{
"var1": "value",
"var2": 100,
}
tmpl.ExecuteTemplate(os.Stdout, "index", varmap)
}
It is possible to pass just a simple value of any type. If you do so, you can refer to it in the template as {{.}}
.
Here is an example (try it on the Go Playgound):
s := "<html><body>Value passed: {{.}}</body></html>\n"
tmpl := template.Must(template.New("test").Parse(s))
tmpl.Execute(os.Stdout, false)
tmpl.Execute(os.Stdout, 1)
tmpl.Execute(os.Stdout, "me")
Output:
<html><body>Value passed: false</body></html>
<html><body>Value passed: 1</body></html>
<html><body>Value passed: me</body></html>
