Text templates

Context

The text/template package generates textual output from data using a template syntax. It is safe for HTML generation as well (use html/template for web).

Example

Execute a template with struct data.

Code example

package main

import (
    "os"
    "text/template"
)

func main() {
    type Person struct {
        Name string
        Age  int
    }
    p := Person{"Alice", 30}

    tmpl := template.Must(template.New("greeting").Parse("Hello {{.Name}}, you are {{.Age}} years old."))
    tmpl.Execute(os.Stdout, p)
}

Output

Hello Alice, you are 30 years old.
