Templates

a wrapper around html/templates

example folder structure

- <template root folder>
    default.tmpl
    - shared
        button.tmpl
        toolbar.tmpl
    - index.tmpl
    - about.tmpl
    - settings
        settings.tmpl
        options.tmpl
        form.tmpl
    - veggies
        carrots.tmpl
        spinach.tmpl
        cabbage.tmpl

core ideas

shared templates should be in the shared folder template names will not include file extension when passed to Render or referenced within other templates a template can be rendered without a layout a string can be rendered as a template and make use of layout and shared templates

folders (other than those in shared) can treated as a group of templates. if a template with the same name as the folder exists in the folder, it is parsed first

// render the index template usinge the "default" layout
templates.Render("default","index")

// render all templates in the settings folder 
templates.Render("default","settings")

// render the carrot template in the veggies folder
templates.Render("default","vegges/carrots")

templates.RenderFiles("default", "index", "about")
