  • Templ: A language for writing HTML user interfaces in Go

    Here are a couple:

    https://github.com/julvo/htmlgo

    https://github.com/rohanthewiz/element

    I'm sure there are many more.

    The thing about these is that performance is often not as good as when using templates, especially when the templates are compiled to native code. Quicktemplate [1] is still the leader here IMO, and I don't think the OP project brings much that couldn't be done pretty easily with QT.

    1 project | /r/golang | 1 Aug 2023
    From my experience you don't really need a distinct frontend framework for web development in Go. I've been able to use quicktemplate for some of my projects for rendering HTML pretty effectively. I've written about using it here.

    If the question is about templating libraries, then I've seen people use other libraries than the html/template, like https://github.com/hoisie/mustache or https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate

    I've been using quick template with htmx and I'm really enjoying the combo. As a mostly backend developer it's a pretty intuitive approach. Now if someone could just build something to simplify working with CSS...

    Like with the previous post, we're going to use djinn-ci/imgsrv as an example of using multiple sources in a build manifest. If we look at the top of the manifest file, we will see that it requires three repositories to build. These are, the source code for djinn-ci/imgsrv itself, golang/tools, and valyala/quicktemplate, defined like so,

    I like Hugo quite a lot, but I don't like Go's standard library templates. I wonder if it is possible to use https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate with Hugo?
  • [HELP]XML encoding and decoding
    1 project | /r/golang | 21 Jan 2022
    For encoding, the receivers usually want very specific encoding (namespaces, nil as xsi:nil, not omitted value...) - templating with text/template or github.com/valyala/quicktemplate is easier on the long run, than fight with xml.Marshal and the other end's unspoken assumptions.

    The "Hello World" example is up at https://github.com/a-h/qt-lsp - it's called qt-lsp because I started down this track looking to build IDE support for quicktemplate - https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate/issues/80 - but didn't think it was practical when I dug into the design of quicktemplate more.

  • Migrating Next.js App to GO + Templ & HTMX
    5 projects | dev.to | 5 May 2024
    Recently, I just rewrite one of my application Stashbin from Next.js to GO. Though my main motivation of this migration was to learn GO and experimenting with HTMX. I also aiming to reduce the resource usage of my application and simplify the deployment process. Initially, Stashbin codebase are split into two seperate repository, one for the frontend that uses Next.js and another for the backend that already uses GO. The backend repository is just a REST API responsible for storing and retreiving data from the database.

    HTMX is another library that gained popularity due to its server-first approach to rendering data, although seeking a much simpler way of appealing to developers.

  • HTMZ inspired form subission
    2 projects | dev.to | 31 Mar 2024
    I was inspired by htmz (which was in turn inspired by htmx) and how the author got pretty close to a basic htmx-like experience just using an iframe. I wanted to push it a little further so whipped this demo together. My submission demonstrates progressive enhancement for the form - with js enabled the request targets an iframe that is inserted into the dom, meaning the page doesn't actually navigate (similar to event.preventDefault()). The iframe receives the html response from the request and on load triggers a function to swap out it's contents into the main page.

  • Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
    6 projects | dev.to | 23 Feb 2024
    I've been digging into HTMX lately (using Python web frameworks) and find the concepts and approach to be interesting and promising. The idea of hypermedia driven systems over the current practice of JavaScript based frameworks (I never really got into React, played with Vue, and enjoy Svelte/SvelteKit) and the ability to chose your language/framework for the backend while primarily leveraging HTML/CSS on the frontend just seems refreshing.
