ginraymond
Package ginraymond is a custom template renderer that can be used with the Gin web framework: https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin, it adds support for Handlebars style templates to your Gin application. It uses the Raymond template library for this: https://github.com/aymerick/raymond, which implements Handlebars style templates in pure Go.
This simple binding library is based on a similar library I built for using Pongo2 templates with Gin: https://github.com/robvdl/pongo2gin.
Usage
To use ginraymond you need to set your router.HTMLRenderer instance to a custom renderer, this is done just after creating the Gin router.
You can either use ginraymond.Default() to create a new renderer with default options, this assumes that templates will be located in the "templates" directory, or you can use ginraymond.New() to specify a custom location with your own RenderOptions struct.
To render templates from a route call c.HTML() just as you would when rendering regular Gin templates from a route, except that instead of having to use gin.H{} for the template context, you can use any data type or struct supported by Raymond.
Basic Example
package main
import (
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
"github.com/robvdl/ginraymond"
)
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.HTMLRender = ginraymond.Default()
// Use gin.H or your own custom data types supported by Raymond.
router.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.HTML(200, "hello.hbs", gin.H{"name": "world"})
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
Handlerbars Helpers Example
Register your handlebars helpers with Raymond the same way as in the Raymond docs:
package main
import (
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
"github.com/aymerick/raymond"
"github.com/robvdl/ginraymond"
)
// See Raymond docs on how to implement handlebars helpers.
func bold(options *raymond.Options) raymond.SafeString {
return raymond.SafeString("<strong>" + options.Fn() + "</strong>")
}
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.HTMLRender = ginraymond.Default()
// Optionally register any custom Raymond handlerbars helpers.
raymond.RegisterHelper("bold", bold)
router.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.HTML(200, "hello.hbs", gin.H{"name": "world"})
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
RenderOptions
When calling ginraymond.New() instead of ginraymond.Default() you can use these custom RenderOptions:
type RenderOptions struct {
TemplateDir string // location of the template directory
ContentType string // Content-Type header used when calling c.HTML()
}
Template Caching
Templates will be cached if the current Gin Mode is set to anything but "debug", this means the first time a template is used it will still load from disk, but after that the cached template will be used from memory instead.
If he Gin Mode is set to "debug" then templates will be loaded from disk on each request.
Raymond does not implement it's own cache, so one is implemented in ginraymond.

Functions ¶
func LoadTemplate ¶
LoadTemplate always loads the template from disk.
func MustLoadTemplate ¶
MustLoadTemplate loads the template from disk and panics on error.
Types ¶
type RaymondRender ¶
type RaymondRender struct {
Options *RenderOptions
Cache *TemplateCache
Template *raymond.Template
Context interface{}
}
RaymondRender is a custom Gin template renderer using Raymond.
func Default ¶
func Default() *RaymondRender
Default creates a RaymondRender instance with default options.
func New ¶
func New(options *RenderOptions) *RaymondRender
New creates a new RaymondRender instance with custom Options.
func (RaymondRender) Instance ¶
func (r RaymondRender) Instance(name string, data interface{}) render.Render
Instance should return a new RaymondRender struct for the current request and prepare the *raymond.Template that will be used for this response. Because of GIN's design, the Instance method cannot return an error type. This means that we have to panic on any errors which is not ideal in Go.
func (RaymondRender) Render ¶
func (r RaymondRender) Render(w http.ResponseWriter) error
Render should render the template to the response.
type RenderOptions ¶
RenderOptions is used to configure the renderer.
func DefaultOptions ¶
func DefaultOptions() *RenderOptions
DefaultOptions constructs a RenderOptions struct with default settings.
type TemplateCache ¶
type TemplateCache struct {
TemplateDir string
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
TemplateCache manages a cache for raymond templates.
