如何将Go HTML模板嵌入代码中？

Question

I have a set of templates as files, like base.html, login.html, profile.html, header.html and so on. They are structured in folders.

It's fine to have them as separate files during development but when I deploy the app, I'd like to have them all embedded as strings or parsed and compiled templates ready to use from the code as usual.

How should I better make these templates as Go code? So that I don't have to have a templates folder in production, but everything in the single executable file?

Answer 1

The most simple solution is to embed templates in string literal inside Go source code.

There is a tool that can help, see go-bindata.

I used go generate in some of previous projects for this type of operation, see blog post on go generate command for introduction.
