template.ParseGlob() pattern to parse all files in a directory recursively ?

[briche...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I think the object is self-descriptive.. I want to parse all the files ending in .html in a directory; recursively.

Is it possible with ParseGlob ?

I don't know, but I would use filepath.Walk directly. For example:

err := filepath.Walk(root, func(path string, info os.FileInfo, err error) error {

    if err != nil {

      return err; // you can also return nil here if you want to skip files and directories that can not be accessed

    }

    if info.IsDir() || !strings.HasSuffix(".html") {

      return nil // ignore directories and other files

    }

    err = parseFile(path)

    return err

})

Thx Christoph, I followed your suggestion and ended up with a simple :

        template := template.New("template")

filepath.Walk("src/main/templates", func(path string, info os.FileInfo, err error) error {

if strings.HasSuffix(path, ".html") {

template.ParseFiles(path)

}

return nil

})

don't forget to return the error code from ParseFiles otherwise you will have a hard time finding errors in your templates :-)

Hi there,

Maybe this help someone,

       const tp = "src"

pattern := filepath.Join(tp, "*.html")

tmpl := template.Must(template.ParseGlob(pattern))

This only parses the html files in the existing directory, not subdirectories.  This does not solve the question being asked.  He is looking for a recursive version of this.
