I've been building a Go todo list and I'm trying to add the ability to add new items, but every time I access the form value, it comes out empty. Here's the handler I built:
func addHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
err := r.ParseForm()
if err != nil {
fmt.Print(err)
}
cook, _ := r.Cookie("userid")
id := cook.Value
r.ParseForm()
text := r.FormValue("todo")
addTodo(text,id) //inserts into database
http.Redirect(w,r,"/todo",http.StatusFound)
}
And here's the html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
{{range .}}
<tr><td>{{printf "%s" .Text}}</td><td><a href="/delete/{{.ID}}">delete</a></td></tr>
{{end}}
</table>
<form action="/add" method="post"><input type="text" name="todo"><button type="submit">Add</button></form>
</body>
</html>
