pongo2 VS Twig

I've used https://github.com/flosch/pongo2 since it feels more dev friendly (like almost every other framework I've used). Check out https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go#template-engines for some others.

Doesn’t it bother your that your templates aren’t really valid HTML? Because of the way html/template works, one isn’t really able to implement template inheritance properly. So you end up with opening and closing tags scattered around multiple files? You might want to look at Pongo2, which implements most of Django’s templating syntax (incl. inheritance) and is pretty stable: https://github.com/flosch/pongo2

At least template-wise, I've developed pongo2 mimicking Django's template engine which I use myself for various projects. For the rest I usually stick with the standard library (net/http), golang-jwt, the Gorilla toolkit (note that it's been archived recently) and some software architecture patterns for middlewares, database abstraction, etc.

pongo2 is a community-built template engine with syntax inspired by Django-syntax. It is built by the community for Go. It is very popular today, with more than 2K stars on GitHub.

Django uses Jinja templating engine. Something similar is available at https://github.com/flosch/pongo2 Now you just have to pick which router you want and which ORM or not-ORM.

Yes, Go templating is quite hard. There was a feature request[1] to implement the Django/Jinja2-like Pongo2 template engine[2], but got rejected because it would have been a too big change.

Yes, there is pongo2 [0] and my runner (basically a small Go software that runs the template engine) pongo2-runner [1].

I'm not the author of the library (pongo2), but I'm using pongo2-runner to dynamically create config files out of environment variables, with custom logic. Super recommended.

As you can see this template will add and configura the Pest test suite with a custom TestCase class that will start the application for your tests, making easy to test your application services (as used by Orkestra itself) and you will see a basic application, with a single route in the file config/routes.php that calls a Controller that simply render a Twig view.

Miscommunication in our projects is costly. A single misunderstood User Story can result in 3 days of wasted development time. Additionally, when developers do not use the same programming language, it may be necessary to construct APIs to facilitate communication, which can also be expensive. It is important to consider why front-end developers may be hesitant to work with Twig and how this can lead to a disconnect between front-end and back-end development.

The first step before generating the PDF is writing the HTML. To generate the HTML string, we will use the Twig template engine, which is the default one in Symfony. It comes with tons of features such as inheritance, blocks, filters, functions, and more.

In the phase of outputting data, you can use template engines like Twig or Blade or htmlspecialchars function.

Joomla dips into and out of php to get vars/logic into the frontend, which is fine, but it's nowhere near as tidy as a full-fledged templating engine like blade or twig which many other php CMSs offer out of the box.

FTLOG, use a template engine. Do NOT use PHP itself as a template engine (ironic given its origins). The best are probably Twig (https://twig.symfony.com/) (used by Symfony and a few others) and Latte (https://latte.nette.org/) (less widely used, but its syntax is *way* more learnable as it's more like PHP itself).

It took me a while to find a PHP project that was simple enough for me to set up on a single Docker image, but after some trial and error I found the Twig project.
