Have gin-gonic web app.
There are 3 files:
1) base.html -- base layout file
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
header...
{{template "content" .}}
footer...
</body>
</html>
2) page1.html, for /page1
{{define "content"}}
<div>
<h1>Page1</h1>
</div>
{{end}}
{{template "base.html"}}
3) page2.html, for /page2
{{define "content"}}
<div>
<h1>Page2</h1>
</div>
{{end}}
{{template "base.html"}}
The problem is that /page1 and /page2 use one template - page2.html. I think that I have misunderstanding of such constructions: {{define "content"}}, {{template "base.html"}}.
Please, can you show an example how to use base layouts in golang?
You can use the base.html as long as you parse the template along with your "content", like so:
base.html
{{define "base"}}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
header...
{{template "content" .}}
footer...
</body>
</html>
{{end}}
page1.html
{{define "content"}}
I'm page 1
{{end}}
page2.html
{{define "content"}}
I'm page 2
{{end}}
then ParseFiles with ("your-page.html", "base.html"), and ExecuteTemplate with your context.
tmpl, err := template.New("").ParseFiles("page1.html", "base.html")
// check your err
err = tmpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, "base", yourContext)
