I created a subfolder called 'views' in my web root directory. Within the View folder, I have the static folder which contains the css and js files. The html pages are rendered when I have the html files in the web root. However they do not render when placed within the views folder. I am using template.ParseGlob to parse the file and ExecuteTemplate to render.
package main
import (
"html/template"
"net/http"
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
)
var router = mux.NewRouter()
var tmpl *template.Template
func init() {
tmpl = template.Must(template.ParseGlob("view/*.html"))
}
func indexPage(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
err := tmpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, "signin", nil)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
}
}
func main() {
http.Handle("/static/", http.StripPrefix("/static/", http.FileServer(http.Dir("static"))))
router.PathPrefix("/").Handler(http.StripPrefix("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir("view/"))))
router.HandleFunc("/", indexPage)
http.ListenAndServe(":8091", router)
}
HTML files: Have defined the header and footer in index.html which I refernce in the signin.html file
{{ define "header"}}

{{end}}
signin.html file:
{{define "signin"}}
{{template "header" .}}
<h1 class="alert alert-info">Login</h1>
<div class="container">
{{with .Errors.message}}
<div class="alert alert-danger">
{{.}}
</div>
{{end}}
<form method="POST" action="/">
<label class="form-control" for="uname">User Name</label>
<input class="form-control" type="text" id="uname" name="uname">
<label class="form-control" for="password">Password</label>
<input class="form-control" type="password" id="password" name="password">
<button class="btn btn-info" type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
{{template "footer" .}}
{{end}}
Why is it that this doesn't work when I place the html files in the sub-directory 'views'. The only thing that changes is the argument to parseGlob.
