- supports template inheritance with
extends,importandincludestatements - descriptive error messages with filename and line number
- auto-escape
- simple C-like expressions
- very fast execution – Jet can execute templates faster than some pre-compiled template engines
- very light in terms of allocations and memory footprint
- simple and familiar syntax
- easy to use
You can find the documentation in the wiki.
The last release of v1 was v1.2 which is available at https://github.com/CloudyKit/jet/releases/tag/v1.2 and the tag v1.2.
To upgrade to v2 a few updates to your templates are necessary – these are explained in the upgrade guide.
If you use IntelliJ there is a plugin available at https://github.com/jhsx/GoJetPlugin. There is also a very good Go plugin for IntelliJ – see https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin. GoJetPlugin + Go-lang-idea-plugin = happiness!
You can find examples in the wiki.
An example application is available in the repository. Use go get -u github.com/CloudyKit/jet or clone the repository into $GOPATH/github.com/CloudyKit/jet, then do:
$ cd examples/todos; go run main.go
The benchmark consists of a range over a slice of data printing the values, the benchmark is based on https://github.com/SlinSo/goTemplateBenchmark, Jet performs better than all template engines without pre-compilation, and performs better than gorazor, Ftmpl and Egon, all of which are pre-compiled to Go.
