I am trying to display a list gym classes (Yoga, Pilates etc). For each class type there are several classes, so I want to group all the Yoga classes, and all the Pilates classes and so on.
I made this function to take a slice and make a map of it
func groupClasses(classes []entities.Class) map[string][]entities.Class {
classMap := make(map[string][]entities.Class)
for _, class := range classes {
classMap[class.ClassType.Name] = append(classMap[class.ClassType.Name], class)
}
return classMap
}
The problem is now how can I iterate through it, according to http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/, you need to access it in .Key format, I don't know the keys (unless I also passed a slice of keys into the template). How do I unpack this map in my view.
All I have currently is
{{ . }}
which displays something like:
map[Pilates:[{102 PILATES ~/mobifit/video/ocen.mpg 169 40 2014-05-03 23:12:12 +0000 UTC 2014-05-03 23:12:12 +0000 UTC 1899-12-30 00:00:00 +0000 UTC {PILATES Pilates 1 2014-01-22 21:46:16 +0000 UTC} {1 [email protected] password SUPERADMIN Lee Brooks {Male true} {1990-07-11 00:00:00 +0000 UTC true} {1.85 true} {88 true} 2014-01-22 21:46:16 +0000 UTC {0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC false} {0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC false} {0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC false}} [{1 Mat 2014-01-22 21:46:16 +0000 UTC}]} {70 PILATES ~/mobifit/video/ocen.mpg 119 66 2014-03-31 15:12:12 +0000 UTC 2014-03-31 15:12:12 +0000 UTC 1899-12-30 00:00:00 +0000 UTC
Answer
Check the Variables section in the Go template docs. A range may declare two variables, separated by a comma. The following should work:
{{ range $key, $value := . }}
<li><strong>{{ $key }}</strong>: {{ $value }}</li>
{{ end }}
