TL;DR - Basic Usage¶

This chapter is a “TL;DR” [1] to briefly describe how to build a kwiscale application.

[1]	Too Long; Don’t Read

Install kwiscale and CLI:

go get -u gopkg.in/kwiscale/framework.v1
go get -u gopkg.in/kwiscale/framework.v1/kwiscale

Set project environment variable to ease development, then enerate application and handler:

Create templates/index.tmpl:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>{{ .Title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
    <main>
        {{ template "CONTENT" .}}
    </main>
</body>
</html>

Create template/home.tmpl:

{{/* override "main.tmpl" */}}
{{define "CONTENT" }}
    <p>This is the home page</p>
{{end}}

Open handlers/index.go and add a “Get” method for IndexHandler

func (handler *IndexHandler) Get(){
    handler.Render("home.tmpl", map[string]interface{
        "Title": "Home",
    })
}

Launch application:

go run main.go

Open http://localhost:8000 - you should see “This is the home page” in the browser. If not, please check logs
