I have been trying to use nested templates in Go, however the Examples or help documents are not helping me, and examples in 3 other blogs are not what I'm looking for (one is close and maybe the only way but I want to make sure)
OK, so my code is for App Engine, in here I will be doing an urlfetch to a server, and then I want to show some results, like the Response, headers, and body.
const statusTemplate = `
{{define "RT"}}
Status - {{.Status}}
Proto - {{.Proto}}
{{end}}
{{define "HT"}}
{{range $key, $val := .}}
{{$key}} - {{$val}}
{{end}}
{{end}}
{{define "BT"}}
{{.}}
{{end}}
{{define "MT"}}
<html>
<body>
<pre>
-- Response --
{{template "RT"}}
-- Header --
{{template "HT"}}
-- Body --
{{template "BT"}}
</pre>
</body>
</html>
{{end}}
{{template "MT"}}`
func showStatus(w http.ResponseWriterm r *http.Request) {
/*
* code to get:
* resp as http.Response
* header as a map with the header values
* body as an string wit the contents
*/
t := template.Must(template.New("status").Parse(statusTemplate)
t.ExecuteTemplate(w, "RT", resp)
t.ExecuteTemplate(w, "HT", header)
t.ExecuteTemplate(w, "BT", body)
t.Execute(w, nil)
}
My code actually outputs the RT, HT, and BT templates with the correct values, and then it outputs the MT template empty (MT stands for main template).
So... How can I use nested forms from a string variable so that an example as the above works?
