http/template not working with React.js (javascript)

[Yelnatz]

How come parsing a template then using it won't work with react.js?

If I serve the file directly, it seems to render alright.

How can I make this work?

Using template:

package main
import (
    "net/http"
        "html/template"
)
var t, _ = template.ParseFiles("index.html")

 

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    t.Execute(w, nil)
}

 

func main() {
   http.HandleFunc("/", handler)
   http.ListenAndServe(":8100", nil)
}

Non-template:

import (
    "net/http"
)
func main() {
    http.ListenAndServe(":8200", http.FileServer(http.Dir(".")))
}

Cheers.

Attached are relevant files for convenience.

In the first example you are serving the same file for all the urls:

/

/base.css

/react.js

Have a look in the developer tools in Chrome or use curl to the test the responses. You need to do some routing, so that / is handled by the template handler and the static files are handled by http.FileServer. It usually helps to put all the static files in a public sub folder.

If all this is a bit new to you, might be worth having a look at one of the web frameworks, such as gorilla/mux or revel:

Hope that helps,

So what's wrong is that when a browser GETs the files needed for the html (/base.css /react.js), my go server replies with the index.html again?

If it is, thanks. 

I looked into it more and found this:

Thanks again.

try:

then edit index.html:

<script src="http://example.com:8100/js/react.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.com:8100/css/base.css">
