Output String?

[chrismalek]

I may be missing something obvious. I am working with a framework that just needs a string for the HTML output. Is there a method / function / trick to do that with a node?

Every Node has a Render method, which you can pass any writer to. A good writer could be strings.Builder for you purpose. 😊

Great thanks. I end up doing something like this:

	buf := new(bytes.Buffer)

       // gocomponent node generated "above the fold".  
	personHTML.Render(buf)
       // Iris web framework needs a string 
	ctx.Negotiation().JSON(person).XML(person).HTML(buf.String())
	ctx.Negotiate(nil)

I'm happy you found a solution. 😊
