Here is my function definition which returns a string
"addClassIfActive": func(tab string, ctx *web.Context) string
I'm trying to print it like this:
<a href="/home/"{{ printf "%s" addClassIfActive "home" .Context }}>Home</a>
http response is getting terminated when I'm trying to print.
What am I doing wrong?
Returning a boolean, and then using if works, still I'm curious how to print string returned from a function
The problem you have is that "home"
and .Context
will be the 3:rd and 4:th argument of printf
and not the arguments of addClassIfActive
. The return value of addClassIfActive
becomes the 2:nd argument for printf
.
But the solution is simple: you don't have to use printf
to print.
If your function just returns a string, you can simply print it by writing:
{{addClassIfActive "home" .Context}}
Full working example:
package main
import (
"html/template"
"os"
)
type Context struct {
Active bool
}
var templateFuncs = template.FuncMap{
"addClassIfActive": func(tab string, ctx *Context) string {
if ctx.Active {
return tab + " content"
}
// Return nothing
return ""
},
}
var htmlTemplate = `{{addClassIfActive "home" .Context}}`
func main() {
data := map[string]interface{}{
"Context": &Context{true}, // Set to false will prevent addClassIfActive to print
}
// We create the template and register out template function
t := template.New("t").Funcs(templateFuncs)
t, err := t.Parse(htmlTemplate)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
err = t.Execute(os.Stdout, data)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
Output:
home content
You can't call functions in templates.
What you can do is use FuncMaps :
templates.go
var t = template.New("base")
// ParseFiles or ParseGlob, etc.
templateHelpers := template.FuncMap{
"ifactive": AddClassIfActive,
}
t = t.Funcs(templateHelpers)
your_template.tmpl
...
<span class="stuff">{{ if eq .Context | ifactive }} thing {{ else }} another thing {{ end }}</span>
...
I haven't tested this exact syntax, but I am using FuncMaps elsewhere. Make sure to read the better docs at text/template on FuncMaps for more examples.
