Templ: A language for writing HTML user interfaces in Go

• gomponents

  8 708 6.0 Go

  View components in pure Go, that render to HTML 5.

  

I'm really happy you like it. :) And thank you for your comment, I really appreciate newcomer viewpoints especially.

Have a look at the `Classes` helper component already available: https://github.com/maragudk/gomponents/blob/main/components/...

Yeah, I'm not a total fan of the runtime panics, but it was a tradeoff where I chose in favour of API simplicity and readability. In practice, it works out well, because you catch any typos at development time.

I've had elements and attributes in separate packages before, but then you can't dot-import both packages and not have name clashes, and have to either prefix elements or attributes with the package name, which makes the code much less readable. Again, a tradeoff. :)

Here are a couple:

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.

  Useful template functions for Go templates.

  

Standard Go templating seems really lacking if you come from something like Jinja. Even with libraries like https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/ (used e.g. for Helm templating) it feels hard to use.

  :pencil: Compile-time HTML templates for Rust

I would like to mention maud in this context:

https://github.com/lambda-fairy/maud

It is refreshingly different from other Rust templating libraries. It uses a proc-macro that compiles your HTML into Rust code. I also happen to use it in conjunction with HTMX and it works very well for me (at least in small projects).

  Discontinued A template for Go services. (by maragudk)

  

I've got my own super simple service template that I use internally for this: https://github.com/maragudk/service . I don't think I've added HTMX here (because I add it when needed), but it has auth and is totally classic in its setup.

I don't like Go's template engine too much, I find it a bit cumbersome in many cases. But it's quite capable.

I believe I recently built something to do exactly what you're describing for HTML, though it's C++ (but maybe a useful basis for a rust version - I don't know).

Here is an example of a old technology

TAL -Template Attribute Language

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_Attribute_Language

which happens to have an (also old) implementation i Go https://github.com/owlfish/tal

I wonder what opinion HN has on this type of templating language?
