Go template: can't evaluate field X in type Y (X not part of Y but stuck in a {{range}} loop)

问题

Similar question answered here, but I don't think it solves my problem.

Let's say you have the following struct:

type User struct {
    Username string
    Password []byte
    Email string
    ...
}

Moreover, the URL hasa structure like this: example.com/en/users, where "en" is a URL param that will be passed into the template like this:

renderer.HTML(w, http.StatusOK, "users/index", map[string]interface{}{
  "lang":  chi.URLParam(r, "lang"),
  "users": users})

And in the HTML template I have the following:

{{ range .users }}
  <form action="/{{ .lang }}/users" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="Username" value="{{ .Username }}">
    <input type="text" name="Email" value="{{ .Email }}">
  </form>
{{ end }}

Now, the problem is that because {{ .lang }} is not a part of the User struct then I get the error.. so how can I access {{ .lang }} inside {{ range .users }}?

回答1:

The contents of dot (.) are assigned to $ after invocation of range, so you can use $ to access lang (on play):

{{ range .users }}
  <form action="/{{ $.lang }}/users" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="Username" value="{{ .Username }}">
    <input type="text" name="Email" value="{{ .Email }}">
  </form>
{{ end }}

The behavior is documented here:

When execution begins, $ is set to the data argument passed to Execute, that is, to the starting value of dot.

If you are using nested ranges, you can always fall back to assign dot to something else using the with statement or variable assignment statements. See the other answer for that.

回答2:

You can use a variable for .lang

{{ $lang := .lang }}
{{ range .users }}
  <form action="/{{ $lang }}/users" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="Username" value="{{ .Username }}">
    <input type="text" name="Email" value="{{ .Email }}">
  </form>
{{ end }}
