I try to print the current index of a slice when iterating using the html/template package with Revel but I don't get the expected result.
My action:
func (c App) Index() revel.Result {
test_slice := []string{"t", "e", "s", "t"}
return c.Render(test_slice)
}
My template:
{{range $i, $test_slice := .}}
{{$i}}
{{end}}
Instead of getting 0 1 2 3
,
I get DevMode RunMode currentLocale errors flash test_slice session title
What did I do wrong ?
I am afraid you are not iterating over the test_slice
array. If you did, your code would look something like this:
package main
import (
"os"
"html/template"
)
const templateString = `{{range $i, $test_slice := .}}
{{$i}}
{{end}}`
func main() {
t, err := template.New("foo").Parse(templateString)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
test_slice := []string{"t", "e", "s", "t"}
err = t.Execute(os.Stdout, test_slice)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
Output:
0
1
2
3
Your code is rather iterating over a map where test_slice
is just one of the values. What you see is the key names of this map, where test_slice
is one of them. To make it work, you should change your template to:
{{range $i, $test_slice := .test_slice}}
{{$i}}
{{end}}
