I am trying to build a string using text/template
, where the template string could have arbitrary properties that are resolved via a map.
What I am trying to accomplish is identifying where one/any of the template properties is not resolved and return an error.
At the moment, I am using regexp
but reaching out to the community of see if there was a better solution.
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"regexp"
"text/template"
)
func main() {
data := "teststring/{{.someData}}/{{.notExist}}/{{.another}}"
// the issue here is that data can be arbitrary so i cannot do
// a lot of unknown if statements
t := template.Must(template.New("").Parse(data))
var b bytes.Buffer
fillers := map[string]interface{}{
"someData": "123",
"another": true,
// in this case, notExist is not defined, so the template will
// note resolve it
}
if err := t.Execute(&b, fillers); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(b.String())
// teststring/123/<no value>/true
// here i am trying to catch if a the template required a value that was not provided
hasResolved := regexp.MustCompile(`<no value>`)
fmt.Println(hasResolved.MatchString(b.String()))
// add notExist to the fillers map
fillers["notExist"] = "testdata"
b.Reset()
if err := t.Execute(&b, fillers); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(b.String())
fmt.Println(hasResolved.MatchString(b.String()))
// Output:
// teststring/123/<no value>/true
// true
// teststring/123/testdata/true
// false
}
CodePudding user response:
You can let it fail by settings the options on the template:
func (t *Template) Option(opt ...string) *Template
"missingkey=default" or "missingkey=invalid"
The default behavior: Do nothing and continue execution.
If printed, the result of the index operation is the string
"<no value>".
"missingkey=zero"
The operation returns the zero value for the map type's element.
"missingkey=error"
Execution stops immediately with an error.
If you set it to missingkey=error
, you get what what want.
t = t.Options("missingkey=error")
