alias air='~/usr/go/bin/air'

Github for air.

templates

Templates are handled by go's standard template/html package.

ordering templates

Templates may be comprised of other templates, but template import order matters.

[!IMPORTANT] Always import parent elements first, then any children parsed after.

This will work, because index defines subtemplates first, then the subtemplates are loaded.

tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(content,
    "static/html/index.html",
    "static/html/head.html",
    "static/html/footer.html",
)

This will not work. 😿

tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(content,
    "static/html/head.html",
    "static/html/footer.html",
    "static/html/index.html",
)

This will only work if the files are alphabetized. 🙃

tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(content,
    "static/html/*.html",
)

backend

Backend is a bog standard go server, utilizing a filesystem embedded in the binary for ease and speed.
