statictemplate

statictemplate

Statictemplate is a code generator for Go's text/template and html/template packages. It works by reading in the template files, and generating the needed functions based on the combination of requested function names and type signatures.

Please read my blogpost about this project for some background.

Installation

To install the commandline tool, run go get bou.ke/statictemplate.

These are the supported flags:

  -dev string
        Name of the dev output file
