Learning Go and Gin from here. So I have a router like this
userRoutes.POST("/login", ensureNotLoggedIn(), performLogin)
and the handler function is like this
func performLogin(c *gin.Context) {
username := c.PostForm("username")
password := c.PostForm("password")
if isUserValid(username, password) {
token := generateSessionToken()
c.SetCookie("token", token, 3600, "", "", false, true)
//is_logged_in is not working in template
c.Set("is_logged_in", true)
render(c, gin.H{"title": "Successful Login"}, "login-successful.html")
} else {
c.HTML(http.StatusBadRequest, "login.html", gin.H{
"ErrorTitle": "Login Failed",
"ErrorMessage": "Invalid credentials provided",
})
}
}
and my template is like
{{ if .is_logged_in }}
<li><a href="/article/create">Create Article</a></li>
{{ end }}
{{ if not .is_logged_in }}
<li><a href="/u/register">Register</a></li>
{{end}}
But in the end this variable in template seems not working, only the second section shows, the first link 'Create Article' is always hiding.
Update
I changed the handler function to something like this,
render(c, gin.H{"title": "Successful Login", "is_logged_in": c.MustGet("is_logged_in").(bool)}, "login-successful.html")
explicitly passing the variable. Now the template element hide and show is correct. So was there anything changed in Golang or Gin to make .Set() behaving differently?
