HTML is the official Go template engine [html/template](https://golang.org/pkg/html/template/), to see the original syntax documentation please [click here](TEMPLATES_CHEATSHEET.md)
**Info:**
All templates within the specified view directory are analyzed and compiled at the beginning to increase the performance when using them.
Thus it should be noted that no `definition` with the same name should exist, otherwise they will overwrite each other.
For templating the `{{embed}}` tag should be used
### Basic Example
_**./views/index.html**_
```html
{{template "partials/header" .}}
{{.Title}}
{{template "partials/footer" .}}
```
_**./views/partials/header.html**_
```html
Header
```
_**./views/partials/footer.html**_
```html
Footer
```
_**./views/layouts/main.html**_
```html
Main
{{embed}}
```
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/template/html/v2"
)
func main() {
// Create a new engine
engine := html.New("./views", ".html")
// Or from an embedded system
// See github.com/gofiber/embed for examples
// engine := html.NewFileSystem(http.Dir("./views", ".html"))
// Pass the engine to the Views
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,
})
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Render index
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"Title": "Hello, World!",
})
})
app.Get("/layout", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Render index within layouts/main
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"Title": "Hello, World!",
}, "layouts/main")
})
app.Get("/layouts-nested", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Render index within layouts/nested/main within layouts/nested/base
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"Title": "Hello, World!",
}, "layouts/nested/main", "layouts/nested/base")
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
```
### Example with embed.FS
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"embed"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/template/html"
)
//go:embed views/*
var viewsfs embed.FS
func main() {
engine := html.NewFileSystem(http.FS(viewsfs), ".html")
// Pass the engine to the Views
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,
})
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Render index - start with views directory
return c.Render("views/index", fiber.Map{
"Title": "Hello, World!",
})
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
```
and change the starting point to the views directory
_**./views/index.html**_
```html
{{template "views/partials/header" .}}
{{.Title}}
{{template "views/partials/footer" .}}
```
### Example with innerHTML
```go
package main
import (
"embed"
"html/template"
"log"
"net/http"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/template/html"
)
//go:embed views/*
var viewsfs embed.FS
func main() {
engine := html.NewFileSystem(http.FS(viewsfs), ".html")
engine.AddFunc(
// add unescape function
"unescape", func(s string) template.HTML {
return template.HTML(s)
},
)
// Pass the engine to the Views
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{Views: engine})
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Render index
return c.Render("views/index", fiber.Map{
"Title": "Hello, World!",
})
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
```
and change the starting point to the views directory
_**./views/index.html**_
```html
{{ unescape .Title}}
```
**html output**
```html
Hello, World!
```
