Creating Static Pages

Static pages (About, Contact, Terms) are simple in Gojang. Steps:

  1. Create a template in gojang/views/templates/ that defines title and content blocks.
  2. Add a handler method in gojang/http/handlers/pages.go that calls the renderer with the template.
  3. Register the route in gojang/http/routes/pages.go.
  4. (Optional) Add navigation link in base.html.

Example template snippet:

{{define "title"}}About Us{{end}}
{{define "content"}}
<div class="container">
  <h1>About Us</h1>
  <p>Welcome...</p>
</div>
{{end}}

Handler example:

func (h *PageHandler) About(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  h.Renderer.Render(w, r, "about.html", &renderers.TemplateData{Title: "About Us"})
}

Route registration:

r.Get("/about", handler.About)

Tip: Use HTMX attributes in static pages to add interactive fragments without writing JavaScript.
