A plugin for my webapp server in progress, gas. This should be a sort of template for all plugins to come.

Everything you see here is very much a work in progress and probably does not work at the time of your reading this.

All plugins should begin with its name, much like any Go package, and import the gas package.

package blog

import "gas"

HTML templates should be referred to like importing packages (like g.Render("blog/index", post)). Templates are kept in the html directory for each plugin for modular-ness, but the html/ should be left out when referring to them in code. File extension should also be ignored.

If desired, a template file called _defs_.html.got may be placed in each plugins html/ directory. If one exists, it will be parsed along with each template file. _defs_.html.got should only contain template definitions, declared in Go's templating language as {{define "name"}}…{{end}}. One defs file can contain any arbitrary number of definitions. The definitions may be used in any other template file of the same package with {{template "name"}}.

This package makes use of gopgsqldriver in conjunction with Go's database/sql package. It'll require a fixed version of jbarham's driver to work with the latest weekly build of Go. Attempting to build his package will make it obvious enough what to fix. There's a pull request for this fix already waiting.

Database support will probably come with gas instead of per plugin in the future.
