Execute template with a parameter

[Sibert]

This works

tpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, "index.html", data)

But sending a parameter this does not work. How can I get this to work?

page := template.HTML("index.html")
tpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, page, data)

Do you get an error?

./main.go:84:27: cannot use page (type func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)) as type string in argument to tpl.ExecuteTemplate

@Sibert

does not work

What happens? Do you get an error?

I think I found the solution. It was maybe variable scope

path := strings.Trim(r.URL.Path, "/")

var page string  <--- variable scope?
switch path {
case "":
	page = "index.html"
	fmt.Println(page, list)
default:
	page = path + ".html"
	fmt.Println(page, list)
}

err = tpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, page, list)
