tvecty

An experiment for embedding html templates in Go files that can rendered into Vecty code (https://github.com/hexops/vecty).

example.vtpl

package comps

import (
	"github.com/hexops/vecty"
	"github.com/hexops/vecty/elem"
)

func ExampleComp() vecty.ComponentOrHTML {
    embedAsText := "embed this as text"
    child := <div>this is a child</div>
	
    return <div class="root">
    	<p>this is some test</p>
    	<p>{s:embedAsText}</p>
        {child}
        {AnotherComp()}
    </div>
}

func AnotherComp() vecty.ComponentOrHTML {
    //...
}

Installation

go install github.com/mdev5000/tvecty/cmd/tvecty@latest

Usage

Compiling the example above via:

tvecty compile file example.vtpl

Will output the following:

package comps

import (
	"github.com/hexops/vecty"
	"github.com/hexops/vecty/elem"
)

func ExampleComp() vecty.ComponentOrHTML {
	embedAsText := "embed this as text"
	child :=
		elem.Div(
			vecty.Text("this is a child"),
		)
	return elem.Div(
		vecty.Markup(
			vecty.Class("root"),
		),
		elem.Paragraph(
			vecty.Text("this is some test"),
		),
		elem.Paragraph(
			vecty.Text(embedAsText),
		),
		child,
		AnotherComp())
}

func AnotherComp() vecty.ComponentOrHTML {
	//...
}

You can also output directly to file or compile based on directory matching.

# compile a single file
tvecty compile file example.vtpl example.vtpl.go

# compile a directory file
tvecty compile dir ./tpl/**/*.vtpl

Or setup to use with Go generate.

tpl/gen.go

//go:generate tvecty compile directory **/*.vtpl

go gen ./tpl
