🧬 Template engine middleware for Fiber

Primary LanguageGoMIT LicenseMIT

Fiber

This package provides universal methods to use multiple template engines with the Fiber web framework using the new Views interface that is available from > v1.11.1. Special thanks to @bdtomlin & @arsmn for helping!

8 template engines are supported:

Installation

Go version 1.13 or higher is required.

go get -u github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2
go get -u github.com/gofiber/template

Example

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"

	// To use a specific template engine, import as shown below:
	// "github.com/gofiber/template/pug"
	// "github.com/gofiber/template/mustache"
	// etc..

	// In this example we use the html template engine
	"github.com/gofiber/template/html"
)

func main() {
	// Create a new engine by passing the template folder
	// and template extension using <engine>.New(dir, ext string)
	engine := html.New("./views", ".html")

  	// We also support the http.FileSystem interface
	// See examples below to load templates from embedded files
	engine := html.NewFileSystem(http.Dir("./views"), ".html")

	// Reload the templates on each render, good for development
	engine.Reload(true) // Optional. Default: false

	// Debug will print each template that is parsed, good for debugging
	engine.Debug(true) // Optional. Default: false

	// Layout defines the variable name that is used to yield templates within layouts
	engine.Layout("embed") // Optional. Default: "embed"

	// Delims sets the action delimiters to the specified strings
	engine.Delims("{{", "}}") // Optional. Default: engine delimiters

	// AddFunc adds a function to the template's global function map.
	engine.AddFunc("greet", func(name string) string {
		return "Hello, " + name + "!"
	})

	// After you created your engine, you can pass it to Fiber's Views Engine
	app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
		Views: engine,
	})

	// To render a template, you can call the ctx.Render function
	// Render(tmpl string, values interface{}, layout ...string)
	app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
		return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
			"Title": "Hello, World!",
		})
	})

	// Render with layout example
	app.Get("/layout", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
		return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
			"Title": "Hello, World!",
		}, "layouts/main")
	})

	log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

embedded Systems

We support the http.FileSystem interface, so you can use different libraries to load the templates from embedded binaries.
