Build a single binary with templates

Use the third-party package

You can use the third party package to build a server into a single binary containing templates by using go-assets.

  1. func main() {
  2.     r := gin.New()
  4.     t, err := loadTemplate()
  5.     if err != nil {
  6.         panic(err)
  7.     }
  8.     r.SetHTMLTemplate(t)
  10.     r.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
  11.         c.HTML(http.StatusOK, "/html/index.tmpl", nil)
  12.     })
  13.     r.Run(":8080")
  14. }
  16. // loadTemplate loads templates embedded by go-assets-builder
  17. func loadTemplate() (*template.Template, error) {
  18.     t := template.New("")
  19.     for name, file := range Assets.Files {
  20.         if file.IsDir() || !strings.HasSuffix(name, ".tmpl") {
  21.             continue
  22.         }
  23.         h, err := ioutil.ReadAll(file)
  24.         if err != nil {
  25.             return nil, err
  26.         }
  27.         t, err = t.New(name).Parse(string(h))
  28.         if err != nil {
  29.             return nil, err
  30.         }
  31.     }
  32.     return t, nil
  33. }
