Google's 'go' and scope/functions
- by danwoods
In one of the example servers given at golang.org:
package main
import (
"flag"
"http"
"io"
"log"
"template"
)
var addr = flag.String("addr", ":1718", "http service address") // Q=17, R=18
var fmap = template.FormatterMap{
"html": template.HTMLFormatter,
"url+html": UrlHtmlFormatter,
}
var templ = template.MustParse(templateStr, fmap)
func main() {
flag.Parse()
http.Handle("/", http.HandlerFunc(QR))
err := http.ListenAndServe(*addr, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Exit("ListenAndServe:", err)
}
}
func QR(c *http.Conn, req *http.Request) {
templ.Execute(req.FormValue("s"), c)
}
func UrlHtmlFormatter(w io.Writer, v interface{}, fmt string) {
template.HTMLEscape(w, []byte(http.URLEscape(v.(string))))
}
const templateStr = `
<html>
<head>
<title>QR Link Generator</title>
</head>
<body>
{.section @}
<img src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=300x300&cht=qr&choe=UTF- 8&chl={@|url+html}"
/>
<br>
{@|html}
<br>
<br>
{.end}
<form action="/" name=f method="GET"><input maxLength=1024 size=70
name=s value="" title="Text to QR Encode"><input type=submit
value="Show QR" name=qr>
</form>
</body>
</html>
`
Why is template.HTMLEscape(w, []byte(http.URLEscape(v.(string)))) contained within UrlHtmlFormatter? Why can't it be directly linked to "url+html"?
