Use default instance:
//write http.ResponseWriter
//"index" -> index.html
goview.Render(writer, http.StatusOK, "index", goview.M{})
Use new instance with config:
gv := goview.New(goview.Config{
Root: "views",
Extension: ".tpl",
Master: "layouts/master",
Partials: []string{"partials/ad"},
Funcs: template.FuncMap{
"sub": func(a, b int) int {
return a - b
},
"copy": func() string {
return time.Now().Format("2006")
},
},
DisableCache: true,
})
//Set new instance
goview.Use(gv)
//write http.ResponseWriter
goview.Render(writer, http.StatusOK, "index", goview.M{})
Use multiple instance with config:

gvFrontend := goview.New(goview.Config{

// more funcs
},
DisableCache: false, //if disable cache, auto reload template file for debug.
}
//template file
{{include "layouts/footer"}}
Render name use index
without .html
extension, that will render with master layout.
- "index" - Render with master layout.
- "index.html" - Not render with master layout.
Notice: `.html` is default template extension, you can change with config
Render with master
//use name without extension `.html`
goview.Render(w, http.StatusOK, "index", goview.M{})
The w
is instance of http.ResponseWriter
Render only file(not use master layout)
//use full name with extension `.html`
goview.Render(w, http.StatusOK, "page.html", goview.M{})
