Golang template variable isset

Multi tool use
I have created a function to check if a variable is defined:
fm["isset"] = func(a interface{}) bool {
if a == nil || a == "" || a == 0 {
fmt.Println("is not set")
return false
}
fmt.Println("is set")
return false
}
tmpl := template.Must(template.New("").Funcs(fm).ParseFiles("templates/header.html"))
err := tmpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, "header", templateData)
In the template I have:
{{ if isset .Email }}
email is set
{{ end }}
This function works if the variable is contained by the templateData
(which is a custom struct that contains a map and a string), but it gives me an error if the variable doesn't exist.
The error is:
executing "header" at <.Email>: can't evaluate field Email in type base.customData
In my case "base.go" is the handler and "customData" is defined by: type customData struct{..}
.
I want to be able to reuse templates and to display some sections only if some variables are sent from the handler. Any idea how can I implement a variable isset
check on the template side?
I also tried using: {{ if .Email}} do stuff {{ end }}
but this also gives me the same error.
Any idea?

Try to loga
in yourisset
function. Do you see what you are passing in? If not, there is a problem at the template level. Maybe try passing in both the struct and the key to access it on to check if isset, and modify your function accordingly to take in both arguments.

if my struct contains the "Email" it will work and it will log it inside the isset function. If the struct don't contain "Email" (this is my case) it will just output the error from above, no logs from the issset function will be displayed.

PHP has the isset($variable) function which returns true/false, what about GO? How can I check for a variable in the template to see if it is sent from the handler? For example, I want to display a menu only if the user is logged in.

The recommended way
First, the recommended way is not to rely on whether a struct field exists. Of course there might be optional parts of the template, but the condition to decide whether to render a part should rely on fields that exist in all cases.
The issue, and avoiding it using a map
If the type of the template data is a struct
(or a pointer to a struct) and there is no field or method with the given name, the template engine returns an error for that.
You could easily get rid of this error if you were to use a map, as maps can be indexed with keys they don't contain, and the result of that index expression is the zero value of the value type (and not an error).
To demonstrate, see this example:
s := `{{if .Email}}Email is: {{.Email}}{{else}}Email is NOT set.{{end}}`
t := template.Must(template.New("").Parse(s))
exec := func(name string, param interface{}) {
fmt.Printf("n%s:n ", name)
if err := t.Execute(os.Stdout, param); err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
}
}
exec("Filled map", map[string]interface{}{"Email": "as@as"})
exec("Empty map", map[string]interface{}{})
exec("Filled struct", struct {
Email string
}{Email: "as@as.com"})
exec("Empty struct", struct{}{})
Output (try it on the Go Playground):
Filled map:
Email is: as@as
Empty map:
Email is NOT set.
Filled struct:
Email is: as@as.com
Empty struct:
Error: template: :1:5: executing "" at <.Email>: can't evaluate field Email in type struct {}
Sticking to struct
and providing "isset"
If you must or want to stick to a struct
, this "isset" can be implemented and provided, I'll call it avail()
.
This implementation uses reflection, and in order to check if the field given by its name exists (is available), the (wrapper) data must also be passed to it:
func avail(name string, data interface{}) bool {
v := reflect.ValueOf(data)
if v.Kind() == reflect.Ptr {
v = v.Elem()
}
if v.Kind() != reflect.Struct {
return false
}
return v.FieldByName(name).IsValid()
}
Example using it:
s := `{{if (avail "Email" .)}}Email is: {{.Email}}{{else}}Email is unavailable.{{end}}`
t := template.Must(template.New("").Funcs(template.FuncMap{
"avail": avail,
}).Parse(s))
exec := func(name string, param interface{}) {
fmt.Printf("n%s:n ", name)
if err := t.Execute(os.Stdout, param); err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
}
}
exec("Filled struct", struct {
Email string
}{Email: "as@as.com"})
exec("Empty struct", struct{}{})
Output (try it on the Go Playground):
Filled struct:
Email is: as@as.com
Empty struct:
Email is unavailable.

If you don't send data containing a variable to the template but you use {{ if .Variable }}
you will get the error:
executing "templatename" at <.Variable>: can't evaluate field Variable in type handler.Data
My solution was to send the "Email" variable as a boolean (false) in order to pass the {{ if .Email }}
function check. But this is a short term solution that I don't like.
I was inspired by: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31527618/1564840. In that example they show different HTML for authenticated and non-authenticated users. You will see that in both cases they send the "Logged" variable. Try removing that variable from the struct and execute the function. You will receive the error that I mentioned above.

If you don't send data containing a variable to the template but you use {{ if .Variable }}
you will get the error:
executing "templatename" at <.Variable>: can't evaluate field Variable in type handler.Data
My solution was to send the "Email" variable as a boolean (false) in order to pass the {{ if .Email }}
function check. But this is a short term solution that I don't like.
I was inspired by: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31527618/1564840. In that example they show different HTML for authenticated and non-authenticated users. You will see that in both cases they send the "Logged" variable. Try removing that variable from the struct and execute the function. You will receive the error that I mentioned above.

Try to log
a
in yourisset
function. Do you see what you are passing in? If not, there is a problem at the template level. Maybe try passing in both the struct and the key to access it on to check if isset, and modify your function accordingly to take in both arguments.– Lansana

if my struct contains the "Email" it will work and it will log it inside the isset function. If the struct don't contain "Email" (this is my case) it will just output the error from above, no logs from the issset function will be displayed.

PHP has the isset($variable) function which returns true/false, what about GO? How can I check for a variable in the template to see if it is sent from the handler? For example, I want to display a menu only if the user is logged in.

Try simply
{{ if .Email }}
, that should work for you.– Lansana
