When doing ExecuteTemplate
I see all examples using &whateversruct{Title: "title info", Body: "body info"}
to send data to the template to replace the info. I was wondering if its possible to not have to create a struct outside my handler function because every handler function I have is not going to have the same Title, Body. It would be nice to be able to send it a map that replaces the template info. Any thoughts or ideas?
Currently - loosely written
type Info struct {
Title string
Body string
}
func View(w http.ResponseWriter) {
temp.ExecuteTemplate(w, temp.Name(), &Info{Title: "title", Body: "body"})
}
Just seems like creating the struct is unnecessary. And the struct would not be the same for each function you create. So you would have to create a struct for each function (that I know of).
To augment Kevin's answer: An anonymous struct will yield much the same behaviour:
func View(w http.ResponseWriter) {
data := struct {
Title string
Body string
} {
"About page",
"Body info",
}
temp.ExecuteTemplate(w, temp.Name(), &data)
}
