Hot

Hot is a library for rendering hot golang templates. This means with hot you won't need to reload your application everytime you edit your templates.Hot watches for file changes in your templates directory and reloads everytime you make changes to your files.

hot renders go templates using html/template package.

Installation

go get github.com/gernest/hot

Usage

Just pass the configuration object to hot.New

package main

import (
    "os"

    "github.com/gernest/hot"
)

func main() {
    config := &hot.Config{
        Watch:          true,
        BaseName:       "hot",
        Dir:            "fixtures",
        FilesExtension: []string{".tpl", ".html", ".tmpl"},
    }

    tpl, err := hot.New(config)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // execute the template named "hello.tpl
    tpl.Execute(os.Stdout, "hello.tpl", nil)
}

Note that the fixtures directory should exist and there is a template file hello.tpl in it , hot will be watching any changes to the files inside this directory.
