This package provides universal methods to use multiple template engines with the [Fiber web framework](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber) using the new [Views](https://godoc.org/github.com/gofiber/fiber#Views) interface that is available from `> v1.11.1`. Special thanks to @bdtomlin & @arsmn for helping!
9 template engines are supported:
- [html](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/html)
- [ace](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/ace)
- [amber](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/amber)
- [django](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/django)
- [handlebars](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/handlebars)
- [jet](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/jet)
- [mustache](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/mustache)
- [pug](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/pug)
- [slim](https://github.com/gofiber/template/tree/master/slim)
### Installation
> Go version `1.17` or higher is required.
```
go get -u github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2
go get -u github.com/gofiber/template/any_template_engine/vX
```
### Example
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
// To use a specific template engine, import as shown below:
// "github.com/gofiber/template/pug"
// "github.com/gofiber/template/mustache"
// etc..
// In this example we use the html template engine
"github.com/gofiber/template/html/v2"
)
func main() {
// Create a new engine by passing the template folder
// and template extension using .New(dir, ext string)
engine := html.New("./views", ".html")
// We also support the http.FileSystem interface
// See examples below to load templates from embedded files
engine := html.NewFileSystem(http.Dir("./views"), ".html")
// Reload the templates on each render, good for development
engine.Reload(true) // Optional. Default: false
// Debug will print each template that is parsed, good for debugging
engine.Debug(true) // Optional. Default: false
// Layout defines the variable name that is used to yield templates within layouts
engine.Layout("embed") // Optional. Default: "embed"
// Delims sets the action delimiters to the specified strings
engine.Delims("{{", "}}") // Optional. Default: engine delimiters
// AddFunc adds a function to the template's global function map.
engine.AddFunc("greet", func(name string) string {
return "Hello, " + name + "!"
})
// After you created your engine, you can pass it to Fiber's Views Engine
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,
})
// To render a template, you can call the ctx.Render function
// Render(tmpl string, values interface{}, layout ...string)
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"Title": "Hello, World!",
})
})
// Render with layout example
app.Get("/layout", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"Title": "Hello, World!",
}, "layouts/main")
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
```

### embedded Systems
We support the `http.FileSystem` interface, so you can use different libraries to load the templates from embedded binaries.
#### pkger

```go
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/template/html"
"github.com/markbates/pkger"
)
func main() {
engine := html.NewFileSystem(pkger.Dir("/views"), ".html")
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,
})
// run pkger && go build
}
```

)
func main() {
engine := html.NewFileSystem(packr.New("Templates", "/views"), ".html")
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,

### Benchmarks
#### Simple

#### Extended

Benchmarks were ran on Apple Macbook M1. Each engine was benchmarked 20 times and the results averaged into a single xlsx file. Mustache was excluded from the extended benchmark
