Displaying Singapore bus arrival times using a Go template












0














I am wondering whether my template usage in main.go could be better. For example in other code I notice:



var views = template.Must(template.ParseGlob("static/*.tmpl"))


Defined outside main, hence the templates are loaded on process start. And then in the handler:



views.ExecuteTemplate(w, "passwordprompt.tmpl", map[string]interface{}{})


In my own code, I am wondering if it is worth applying the same practice. Is it possible with functions & the code below?



func handleIndex(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
funcs := template.FuncMap{
"nameBusStopID": func(s string) string { return bs.nameBusStopID(s) },
"getenv": os.Getenv,
}

t, err := template.New("").Funcs(funcs).ParseFiles("templates/index.html")

if err != nil {
log.WithError(err).Error("template failed to parse")
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}

arriving, err := busArrivals(r.URL.Query().Get("id"))
if err != nil {
log.WithError(err).Error("failed to retrieve bus timings")
}

t.ExecuteTemplate(w, "index.html", arriving)
}


Please feel free to critique all the code.
