Go模板引擎也可以在浏览器中运行

Question

I'm developing a web application with Go on the server, and the router will use PushState, so the server will also have to be able to render my templates. That means that I'll need a templating engine that works with Go and Javascript. The only one I've come across so far is Mustache, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle lowercase properties of structs, and there also doesn't seem to be a possibility to provide custom names like JSON:

type Person struct {
    Name string `json:"name"`
    Age  int    `json:"age"`
}

So, is there a templating engine that is available in both Go and JavaScript, and that can handle lowercase struct properties?

Answer 1

As the comments above state, you can't expect any 3rd party library to be able to read lowercase properties on your struct, but it appears you are trying to use tags to represent alternative representations of your struct (as you can with the encoding/json library).

What you can do is use something like github.com/fatih/structs to convert your structs to maps and then range through to lowercase all of your keys (copying the values and removing the uppercase versions) and pass it into mustache.Render() as your context. If you want to use struct tags like the encoding/json library does, you'd have to use the reflect package and write a struct-to-map function that takes into account the tags on the struct (basic example given in the documentation here ). There are some SO answers on how to write a struct-to-map function using reflection, which you can improve upon to add struct tag handling as you need.

To answer your question, I don't think this is something a current templating library does that also works with javascript, but it shouldn't be too hard to get working with mustache given the idea above.
