Templates
Fiber supports server-side template engines.
Template interfaces
Fiber provides a Views interface to provide your own template engine:
Views
1
type Views interface {
2
Load() error
3
Render(io.Writer, string, interface{}, ...string) error
4
}
Copied!
Views interface contains a Load and Render method, Load is executed by Fiber on app initialization to load/parse the templates.1
// Pass engine to Fiber's Views Engine
2
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
3
Views: engine,
4
// Views Layout is the global layout for all template render until override on Render function.
5
ViewsLayout: "layouts/main"
6
})
Copied!
The
Render method is linked to the ctx.Render() function that accepts a template name and binding data. It will use global layout if layout is not being defined in Render function. If the Fiber config option PassLocalsToViews is enabled, then all locals set using ctx.Locals(key, value) will be passed to the template.1
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
2
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
3
"hello": "world",
4
});
5
})
