go-gin中{{template“ base”}}和{{template“ base”。}}之间的区别

Question

What is the difference between {{template "base" }} and {{template "base" .}}?

I use go-gin, both can run with no problem. I cannot find any description in the documentation about this.

From godoc text/template:

{{template "name"}}
The template with the specified name is executed with nil data.

{{template "name" pipeline}}
The template with the specified name is executed with dot set to the value of the pipeline.

So {{template "base"}} calls the template base with no data in the context (globals are still available, of course), and {{template "base" .}} calls it with whatever data is in-scope at the point of the call.
