I am starting a Go project using Echo and Templ.
I have a project structure as follows:
/
/cmd
main.go
/static
css
style.css
/view
/layout
base.templ
The problem I am experiencing is that I don't seem to be able to include a stylesheet.
My main. go is as follows:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/RollingITGuy/go-rerun-dist/handler"
"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
)
func main() {
app := echo.New()
app.Static("/static", "static")
handler := handler.IndexHandler{}
app.GET("/", handler.HandleShowIndex)
err := app.Start(":5150")
if err != nil {
apperr := fmt.Errorf("server start failed; %w", err)
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "%+v\n", apperr)
}
os.Exit(0)
}
The Templ file is:
package layout
templ Base() {
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="static/css/style.css" />
<title>Here</title>
</head>
<body>
{ children... }
</body>
<footer>
</footer>
</html>
}
When I view the page source I get:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="static/css/style.css">
When I click the link to the stylesheet I receive:
{"message":"Not Found"}
What am I missing? What can I fix?
/cmdwhereas your paths assume it's the root folder (you can check this withos.Getwd()).cd cmdand then run your app (./cmd) it will not work because it's trying to retrievestatic/css/style.cssand, as this is relative to the working directory, the full path would becmd/static/css/style.css(which does not exist). There are a number of ways to fix this (run from the project root i.e.cmd/cmd, change the working directory in the app, embed the templates in the executable etc).
