Golang在等待数据加载时显示静态HTML模板

Question

I have a route set up which responds with a dynamic HTML template.

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "html/template"
)

func index(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    showWwResult, _ := GetWw()
    showHoursResult, _ := GetHours()

    type Data struct {
        ShowWwResult   []IssueResult
        ShowHoursResult Page
    }

    data := Data{showWwResult, showHoursResult}

    var templates = template.Must(template.ParseFiles("templates/index.html", "templates/ww.html", "templates/hours.html"))
    templates.ExecuteTemplate(w, "indexPage", data)
}

My problem is, it takes a very long time to gather the data and the page waits for this to return before rendering the HTML.

How can I get it to return something, anything, while I wait for GetWw() and GetHours() to finish? Is there any way to display the static part of my HTML template and then populate the page with ShowWwResult and ShowHoursResult when they're ready?

Answer 1

No, the best way is to serve the template then populate it using ajax calls to an endpoint that returns json with the data you want to use.
