📝 Templates

Fiber supports server-side template engines.
Template interfaces
Fiber provides a Views interface to provide your own template engine:
Views
Views
type Views interface {
    Load() error
    Render(io.Writer, string, interface{}, ...string) error
}
Views interface contains a Load and Render method, Load is executed by Fiber on app initialization to load/parse the templates.
// Pass engine to Fiber's Views Engine
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
    Views: engine,
})
The Render method is linked to the ctx.Render() function that accepts a template name and binding data.
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
    return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
        "hello": "world",
    });
})
Engines

​ace​
​amber​
​django​
​handlebars​
​jet​
​mustache​

    // Initialize standard Go html template engine
    engine := html.New("./views", ".html")
​
    app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
        Views: engine,
    })
    app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        // Render index template
        return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
            "Title": "Hello, World!",
        })
    })
