Template and custom function; panic: function not defined

Question

Using html/template I am trying to use one of my own functions inside a template. Unfortunately I am unable to use the function map feature of go\'s templates. All

Answer 1

IIRC, template functions map must be defined by .Funcs before parsing the template. The below code seems to work.

package main

import (
        "html/template"
        "io/ioutil"
        "net/http"
        "strconv"
)

var funcMap = template.FuncMap{
        "humanSize": humanSize,
}

const tmpl = `

    {{range .}}
    

        {{.Name}}
        {{humanSize .Size}}
    
    {{end}}
`

var tmplGet = template.Must(template.New("").Funcs(funcMap).Parse(tmpl))

func humanSize(s int64) string {
        return strconv.FormatInt(s/int64(1000), 10) + " KB"
}

func getPageHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        files, err := ioutil.ReadDir(".")
        if err != nil {
                http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
                return
        }

        if err := tmplGet.Execute(w, files); err != nil {
                http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
        }
}

func main() {
        http.HandleFunc("/", getPageHandler)
        http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
