-Package template implements data-driven templates for generating textual output.
-
-To generate HTML output, see package html/template, which has the same interface
-as this package but automatically secures HTML output against certain attacks.
-
-Templates are executed by applying them to a data structure. Annotations in the
-template refer to elements of the data structure (typically a field of a struct
-or a key in a map) to control execution and derive values to be displayed.
-Execution of the template walks the structure and sets the cursor, represented
-by a period '.' and called "dot", to the value at the current location in the
-structure as execution proceeds.
-
-The input text for a template is UTF-8-encoded text in any format.
-"Actions"--data evaluations or control structures--are delimited by
-"{{" and "}}"; all text outside actions is copied to the output unchanged.
-Actions may not span newlines, although comments can.
-
-Once parsed, a template may be executed safely in parallel.
-
-Here is a trivial example that prints "17 items are made of wool".
-
- type Inventory struct {
- Material string
- Count uint
- }
- sweaters := Inventory{"wool", 17}
- tmpl, err := template.New("test").Parse("{{.Count}} items are made of {{.Material}}")
- if err != nil { panic(err) }
- err = tmpl.Execute(os.Stdout, sweaters)
- if err != nil { panic(err) }
-
-More intricate examples appear below.
-
-Actions
-
-Here is the list of actions. "Arguments" and "pipelines" are evaluations of
-data, defined in detail below.
-
-*/
-// {{/* a comment */}}
-// A comment; discarded. May contain newlines.
-// Comments do not nest and must start and end at the
-// delimiters, as shown here.

-
- {{pipeline}}
- The default textual representation of the value of the pipeline
- is copied to the output.
-
- {{if pipeline}} T1 {{end}}
- If the value of the pipeline is empty, no output is generated;
- otherwise, T1 is executed. The empty values are false, 0, any
- nil pointer or interface value, and any array, slice, map, or
- string of length zero.
- Dot is unaffected.
-
- {{if pipeline}} T1 {{else}} T0 {{end}}
- If the value of the pipeline is empty, T0 is executed;
- otherwise, T1 is executed. Dot is unaffected.
-
- {{if pipeline}} T1 {{else if pipeline}} T0 {{end}}
- To simplify the appearance of if-else chains, the else action
- of an if may include another if directly; the effect is exactly
- the same as writing
- {{if pipeline}} T1 {{else}}{{if pipeline}} T0 {{end}}{{end}}
-
- {{range pipeline}} T1 {{end}}
- The value of the pipeline must be an array, slice, map, or channel.
- If the value of the pipeline has length zero, nothing is output;
- otherwise, dot is set to the successive elements of the array,
- slice, or map and T1 is executed. If the value is a map and the
- keys are of basic type with a defined order ("comparable"), the
- elements will be visited in sorted key order.
-
- {{range pipeline}} T1 {{else}} T0 {{end}}
- The value of the pipeline must be an array, slice, map, or channel.
- If the value of the pipeline has length zero, dot is unaffected and
- T0 is executed; otherwise, dot is set to the successive elements
- of the array, slice, or map and T1 is executed.
-
- {{template "name"}}
- The template with the specified name is executed with nil data.
-
- {{template "name" pipeline}}
- The template with the specified name is executed with dot set
- to the value of the pipeline.
-
- {{with pipeline}} T1 {{end}}
- If the value of the pipeline is empty, no output is generated;
- otherwise, dot is set to the value of the pipeline and T1 is
- executed.
-
- {{with pipeline}} T1 {{else}} T0 {{end}}
- If the value of the pipeline is empty, dot is unaffected and T0
- is executed; otherwise, dot is set to the value of the pipeline
- and T1 is executed.
-
-Arguments
-
-An argument is a simple value, denoted by one of the following.
-
- - A boolean, string, character, integer, floating-point, imaginary
- or complex constant in Go syntax. These behave like Go's untyped
- constants, although raw strings may not span newlines.
- - The keyword nil, representing an untyped Go nil.
- - The character '.' (period):
- .
- The result is the value of dot.
- - A variable name, which is a (possibly empty) alphanumeric string
- preceded by a dollar sign, such as
- $piOver2
- or
- $
- The result is the value of the variable.
- Variables are described below.
- - The name of a field of the data, which must be a struct, preceded
- by a period, such as
- .Field
- The result is the value of the field. Field invocations may be
- chained:
- .Field1.Field2
- Fields can also be evaluated on variables, including chaining:
- $x.Field1.Field2
- - The name of a key of the data, which must be a map, preceded
- by a period, such as
- .Key
- The result is the map element value indexed by the key.
- Key invocations may be chained and combined with fields to any
- depth:
- .Field1.Key1.Field2.Key2
- Although the key must be an alphanumeric identifier, unlike with
- field names they do not need to start with an upper case letter.
- Keys can also be evaluated on variables, including chaining:
- $x.key1.key2
- - The name of a niladic method of the data, preceded by a period,
- such as
- .Method
- The result is the value of invoking the method with dot as the
- receiver, dot.Method(). Such a method must have one return value (of
- any type) or two return values, the second of which is an error.
- If it has two and the returned error is non-nil, execution terminates
- and an error is returned to the caller as the value of Execute.
- Method invocations may be chained and combined with fields and keys
- to any depth:
- .Field1.Key1.Method1.Field2.Key2.Method2
- Methods can also be evaluated on variables, including chaining:
- $x.Method1.Field
- - The name of a niladic function, such as
- fun
- The result is the value of invoking the function, fun(). The return
- types and values behave as in methods. Functions and function
- names are described below.
- - A parenthesized instance of one the above, for grouping. The result
- may be accessed by a field or map key invocation.
- print (.F1 arg1) (.F2 arg2)
- (.StructValuedMethod "arg").Field
-
-Arguments may evaluate to any type; if they are pointers the implementation
-automatically indirects to the base type when required.
-If an evaluation yields a function value, such as a function-valued
-field of a struct, the function is not invoked automatically, but it
-can be used as a truth value for an if action and the like. To invoke
-it, use the call function, defined below.
-
-A pipeline is a possibly chained sequence of "commands". A command is a simple
-value (argument) or a function or method call, possibly with multiple arguments:
-
- Argument
- The result is the value of evaluating the argument.
- .Method [Argument...]
- The method can be alone or the last element of a chain but,
- unlike methods in the middle of a chain, it can take arguments.
- The result is the value of calling the method with the
- arguments:
- dot.Method(Argument1, etc.)
- functionName [Argument...]
- The result is the value of calling the function associated
- with the name:
- function(Argument1, etc.)
- Functions and function names are described below.
-
-Pipelines
-
-A pipeline may be "chained" by separating a sequence of commands with pipeline
-characters '|'. In a chained pipeline, the result of the each command is
-passed as the last argument of the following command. The output of the final
-command in the pipeline is the value of the pipeline.
-
-The output of a command will be either one value or two values, the second of
-which has type error. If that second value is present and evaluates to
-non-nil, execution terminates and the error is returned to the caller of
-Execute.
-
-Variables
-
-A pipeline inside an action may initialize a variable to capture the result.
-The initialization has syntax
-
- $variable := pipeline
-
-where $variable is the name of the variable. An action that declares a
-variable produces no output.
-
-If a "range" action initializes a variable, the variable is set to the
-successive elements of the iteration. Also, a "range" may declare two
-variables, separated by a comma:
-
- range $index, $element := pipeline
-
-in which case $index and $element are set to the successive values of the
-array/slice index or map key and element, respectively. Note that if there is
-only one variable, it is assigned the element; this is opposite to the
-convention in Go range clauses.
-
-A variable's scope extends to the "end" action of the control structure ("if",
-"with", or "range") in which it is declared, or to the end of the template if
-there is no such control structure. A template invocation does not inherit
-variables from the point of its invocation.
-
-When execution begins, $ is set to the data argument passed to Execute, that is,
-to the starting value of dot.
-
-Examples
-
-Here are some example one-line templates demonstrating pipelines and variables.
-All produce the quoted word "output":
-
- {{"\"output\""}}
- A string constant.
- {{`"output"`}}
- A raw string constant.
- {{printf "%q" "output"}}
- A function call.
- {{"output" | printf "%q"}}
- A function call whose final argument comes from the previous
- command.
- {{printf "%q" (print "out" "put")}}
- A parenthesized argument.
- {{"put" | printf "%s%s" "out" | printf "%q"}}
- A more elaborate call.
- {{"output" | printf "%s" | printf "%q"}}
- A longer chain.
- {{with "output"}}{{printf "%q" .}}{{end}}
- A with action using dot.
- {{with $x := "output" | printf "%q"}}{{$x}}{{end}}
- A with action that creates and uses a variable.
- {{with $x := "output"}}{{printf "%q" $x}}{{end}}
- A with action that uses the variable in another action.
- {{with $x := "output"}}{{$x | printf "%q"}}{{end}}
- The same, but pipelined.
-
-Functions
-
-During execution functions are found in two function maps: first in the
-template, then in the global function map. By default, no functions are defined
-in the template but the Funcs method can be used to add them.
-
-Predefined global functions are named as follows.
-
- and
- Returns the boolean AND of its arguments by returning the
- first empty argument or the last argument, that is,
- "and x y" behaves as "if x then y else x". All the
- arguments are evaluated.
- call
- Returns the result of calling the first argument, which
- must be a function, with the remaining arguments as parameters.
- Thus "call .X.Y 1 2" is, in Go notation, dot.X.Y(1, 2) where
- Y is a func-valued field, map entry, or the like.
- The first argument must be the result of an evaluation
- that yields a value of function type (as distinct from
- a predefined function such as print). The function must
- return either one or two result values, the second of which
- is of type error. If the arguments don't match the function
- or the returned error value is non-nil, execution stops.
- html
- Returns the escaped HTML equivalent of the textual
- representation of its arguments.
- index
- Returns the result of indexing its first argument by the
- following arguments. Thus "index x 1 2 3" is, in Go syntax,
- x[1][2][3]. Each indexed item must be a map, slice, or array.
- js
- Returns the escaped JavaScript equivalent of the textual
- representation of its arguments.
- len
- Returns the integer length of its argument.
- not
- Returns the boolean negation of its single argument.
- or
- Returns the boolean OR of its arguments by returning the
- first non-empty argument or the last argument, that is,
- "or x y" behaves as "if x then x else y". All the
- arguments are evaluated.
- print
- An alias for fmt.Sprint
- printf
- An alias for fmt.Sprintf
- println
- An alias for fmt.Sprintln
- urlquery
- Returns the escaped value of the textual representation of
- its arguments in a form suitable for embedding in a URL query.
-
-The boolean functions take any zero value to be false and a non-zero
-value to be true.
-
-There is also a set of binary comparison operators defined as
-functions:
-
- eq
- Returns the boolean truth of arg1 == arg2
- ne
- Returns the boolean truth of arg1 != arg2
- lt
- Returns the boolean truth of arg1 < arg2
- le
- Returns the boolean truth of arg1 <= arg2
- gt
- Returns the boolean truth of arg1 > arg2
- ge
- Returns the boolean truth of arg1 >= arg2
-
-For simpler multi-way equality tests, eq (only) accepts two or more
-arguments and compares the second and subsequent to the first,
-returning in effect
-
- arg1==arg2 || arg1==arg3 || arg1==arg4 ...
-
-(Unlike with || in Go, however, eq is a function call and all the
-arguments will be evaluated.)
-
-The comparison functions work on basic types only (or named basic
-types, such as "type Celsius float32"). They implement the Go rules
-for comparison of values, except that size and exact type are
-ignored, so any integer value, signed or unsigned, may be compared
-with any other integer value. (The arithmetic value is compared,
-not the bit pattern, so all negative integers are less than all
-unsigned integers.) However, as usual, one may not compare an int
-with a float32 and so on.
-
-Associated templates
-
-Each template is named by a string specified when it is created. Also, each
-template is associated with zero or more other templates that it may invoke by
-name; such associations are transitive and form a name space of templates.
-
-A template may use a template invocation to instantiate another associated
-template; see the explanation of the "template" action above. The name must be
-that of a template associated with the template that contains the invocation.
-
-Nested template definitions
-
-When parsing a template, another template may be defined and associated with the
-template being parsed. Template definitions must appear at the top level of the
-template, much like global variables in a Go program.
-
-The syntax of such definitions is to surround each template declaration with a
-"define" and "end" action.
-
-The define action names the template being created by providing a string
-constant. Here is a simple example:
-
- `{{define "T1"}}ONE{{end}}
- {{define "T2"}}TWO{{end}}
- {{define "T3"}}{{template "T1"}} {{template "T2"}}{{end}}
- {{template "T3"}}`
-
-This defines two templates, T1 and T2, and a third T3 that invokes the other two
-when it is executed. Finally it invokes T3. If executed this template will
-produce the text
-
- ONE TWO
-
-By construction, a template may reside in only one association. If it's
-necessary to have a template addressable from multiple associations, the
-template definition must be parsed multiple times to create distinct *Template
-values, or must be copied with the Clone or AddParseTree method.
-
-Parse may be called multiple times to assemble the various associated templates;
-see the ParseFiles and ParseGlob functions and methods for simple ways to parse
-related templates stored in files.
-
-A template may be executed directly or through ExecuteTemplate, which executes
-an associated template identified by name. To invoke our example above, we
-might write,
-
- err := tmpl.Execute(os.Stdout, "no data needed")
- if err != nil {
- log.Fatalf("execution failed: %s", err)
- }
-
-or to invoke a particular template explicitly by name,
-
- err := tmpl.ExecuteTemplate(os.Stdout, "T2", "no data needed")
- if err != nil {
- log.Fatalf("execution failed: %s", err)
- }
