Templates are a great tool to render dynamic content without using a separate frontend framework.
## Template Engines
Fiber allows you to provide a custom template engine at app initialization.
```go
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
// Pass in Views Template Engine
Views: engine,
// Default global path to search for views (can be overriden when calling Render())
ViewsLayout: "layouts/main",
// Enables/Disables access to `ctx.Locals()` entries in rendered views
// (defaults to false)
PassLocalsToViews: false,
})
```
### Supported Engines
The Fiber team maintains a [templates](https://docs.gofiber.io/template) package that provides wrappers for multiple template engines:
* [ace](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/ace/)
* [amber](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/amber/)
* [django](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/django/)
* [handlebars](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/handlebars)
* [html](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/html)
* [jet](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/jet)
* [mustache](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/mustache)
* [pug](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/pug)
* [slim](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/slim)
:::info
Custom template engines can implement the `Views` interface to be supported in Fiber.
:::
```go title="Views interface"
type Views interface {
// Fiber executes Load() on app initialization to load/parse the templates
Load() error
// Outputs a template to the provided buffer using the provided template,
// template name, and binded data
Render(io.Writer, string, interface{}, ...string) error
}
```
:::note
The `Render` method is linked to the [**ctx.Render\(\)**](../api/ctx.md#render) function that accepts a template name and binding data.
:::
## Rendering Templates
Once an engine is set up, a route handler can call the [**ctx.Render\(\)**](../api/ctx.md#render) function with a template name and binded data to send the rendered template.
```go title="Signature"
func (c Ctx) Render(name string, bind Map, layouts ...string) error
```
:::info
By default, [**ctx.Render\(\)**](../api/ctx.md#render) searches for the template name in the `ViewsLayout` path. To override this setting, provide the path(s) in the `layouts` argument.

```go
app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"Title": "Hello, World!",
})
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="index" label="layouts/index.html">
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>{{.Title}}</h1>
</body>
</html>
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::caution
If the Fiber config option `PassLocalsToViews` is enabled, then all locals set using `ctx.Locals(key, value)` will be passed to the template. It is important to avoid clashing keys when using this setting.

## Advanced Templating
### Custom Functions
Fiber supports adding custom functions to templates.
#### AddFunc
Adds a global function to all templates.
```go title="Signature"
func (e *Engine) AddFunc(name string, fn interface{}) IEngineCore
```
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="add-func-example" label="AddFunc Example">
```go
// Add `ToUpper` to engine
engine := html.New("./views", ".html")
engine.AddFunc("ToUpper", func(s string) string {
return strings.ToUpper(s)
}
// Initialize Fiber App
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,
})
app.Get("/", func (c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"Content": "hello, World!"
})
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="add-func-template" label="views/index.html">
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>This will be in {{ToUpper "all caps"}}:</p>
<p>{{ToUpper .Content}}</p>
</body>
</html>
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
#### AddFuncMap
Adds a Map of functions (keyed by name) to all templates.
```go title="Signature"
func (e *Engine) AddFuncMap(m map[string]interface{}) IEngineCore
```
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="add-func-map-example" label="AddFuncMap Example">
```go
// Add `ToUpper` to engine
engine := html.New("./views", ".html")
engine.AddFuncMap(map[string]interface{}{
"ToUpper": func(s string) string {
return strings.ToUpper(s)
},
})
// Initialize Fiber App
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,
})
app.Get("/", func (c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"Content": "hello, world!"
})
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="add-func-map-template" label="views/index.html">
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>This will be in {{ToUpper "all caps"}}:</p>
<p>{{ToUpper .Content}}</p>
</body>
</html>
```
</TabItem>
