HTML templates - recommendations to unset ?

[Marc Coquand]

Hey!

Currently I use gin as my framework and write my HTML markup together
with go templates.

It happens every so often that I miss to set variables, and so I was
wondering if there are any best practices or tooling to help you make
sure that all variables are set?

Thanks,
Marc

You can pass an the "missingkey=error" option to the template. See
https://pkg.go.dev/html/template#Template.Option.

Also check out https://github.com/jba/templatecheck
It allows you to check the templates which otherwise you would only figure out by running them manually.
