I have setup a simple website based off of this structure. I run main.go and everything works fine. I'd like to be able to use this webapp in another package, say "github.com/my/package". I copied "main.go" to the "github.com/my/package" directory and run it but then get:
"panic: open templates/user/view.html: no such file or directory"
What is the recommended way to modify the path to the template file in this file, for instance, so that I can access the templates? I can think of two solutions:
- Hardcode an absolute path in view.go to the template file.
- Have a global variable in view.go then figure out where the template files are in relation to the new main.go file & set the variable to that path.
The first will obviously break if someone else were to try to use the package. The second option is a bit convoluted b/c you need to find the path to main then work your way through & figure out where the templates are...seems very convoluted.
Is there a better way?
