go - Using methods with multiple return values -

i'm trying write template (using html/template) , passing struct has methods attached it, many of return multiple values. there way of accessing these within template? i'd able like:

package main  import (         "fmt"         "os"         "text/template" )  type foo struct {     name string }  func (f foo) baz() (int, int) {     return 1, 5 }  const tmpl = `name: {{.name}}, ints: {{$a, $b := .baz}}{{$a}}, {{b}}`  func main() {      f := foo{"foo"}      t, err := template.new("test").parse(tmpl)     if err != nil {         fmt.println(err)     }      t.execute(os.stdout, f)  } 

but doesn't work. there no way around it?

i've considered creating anonymous struct in code:

data := struct {     foo       int     b   int }{     f,     0,     0, } data.a, data.b = f.baz() 

and passing in, prefer have in template. ideas? tried writing wrapper function added funcmaps never work @ all.

thanks suggestions!

you won't able call function returns 2 values in template unless 1 of values error. template guaranteed work @ runtime. there great answer explains here, if you're interested.

to solve problem need either 1) break function 2 separate getter functions can call in appropriate place in template; or 2) have function return simple struct values inside.

i can't tell better because have no idea implementation requires. foo , baz don't give many clues. ;)

here quick-n-dirty example of option one:

type foo struct {     name string }  func (f foo) geta() (int) {     return 1 }  func (f foo) getb() (int) {     return 5 } 

and modify template accordingly:

const tmpl = `name: {{.name}}, ints: {{.geta}}, {{.getb}}` 

hopefully of help. :)
