@gernest

@Slacki you are welcome

@gernest How can I access database globally? Is it possible or it's accessible only in controller method?

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

@Slacki only theough the controller

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

So what do you suggest in case I want some go routine running in the background which uses database

@gernest

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

and also through *Context which is literally the one accessed in the controller

You don't have have to

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

well, in this project I have to ;)

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

why?

The Database connection is already a global like object( only one object passed around)

And there is already a connection pool taken care for you

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

I am aware of that

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

okay

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

I just find it easy to process some data with goroutine

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

I see

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

I think when database connection is open it should be accessible globally

In PHP I would use some cron tasks to do what I need to do

but goroutine is just perfect solution

If I only could access DB there

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

You know that the database is available in *Context right?

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

Yes, but I don't know other ways of accessing *Context than in controller method or middleware

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

So you can pass a middleware that pulls it and assigns to a global variable in your app

It will be easy that way

As globals are discouraged in Go

something like this https://play.golang.org/p/7jEjnz2uT0

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

I don't really like this solution, because middleware is fired up on each request

But I guess that's not big performance impact with this one assign, right?

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

you can check if it hasnt been assigned yet

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

Okay, thanks

btw, what's up with my issue?

I've tried to solve this

but failed

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

I'm at work right now, I cant address the issue yet. Be patiend.

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

Sure thing.

Thanks again

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

You are welcome

@gernest how can I achieve nested templates with utron? For example
[HEADER HERE]
some html
[FOOTER HERE]

I get no such template error using {{template "header.html"}}

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

By the way I'm sorry for beeing obtrusive... You're very patient and helpful.

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

@Slacki its okay, I actually don't mind .

you just don't need to add the extension. Instead of {{template "header.html"}} try {{template "header"}}

just make sure in the views directory there is header.html file

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

Works like a charm. Thanks. How does this happen?

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

It is a feature, to help easy templating with utron

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

Sweet.

Geofrey Ernest

@gernest

@gernest

@Slacki wow, just saw the wiki. Awesome work. Thanks.

Kacper Czochara

@Slacki

@gernest i plan to add more content
