Is it possible to have nested templates in Go using the standard library?

Question

How do I get nested templates like Jinja has in the python runtime. TBC what I mean is how do I have a bunch of templates inherit from a base templates, just filing in block

Answer 1

note, when you execute your base template, you must pass values down to the child templates, here I simply pass ".", so that everything is passed down.

template one displays {{.}}

{{define "base"}}

        

            {{.}}
            {{template "content" .}}
        
    

{{end}}

template two displays {{.domains}} that's passed into the parent.

{{define "content"}}
{{.domains}}
{{end}}

Note, if we used {{template "content" .}} instead of {{template "content" .}}, .domains wouldn't be accessible from the content template.

DomainsData := make(map[string]interface{})
    DomainsData["domains"] = domains.Domains
    if err := groupsTemplate.ExecuteTemplate(w, "base", DomainsData); err != nil {
        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
    }
