There are recordsdata in my web site (.css, .js, .html) which can be going to alter consistently however on the identical time there are various others (with the identical extensions talked about above) that may at all times be static so I need to inform the browser which recordsdata it’s allowed to cache. How do I do it utilizing Go?
However, I learn that browsers at all times cache .html recordsdata, if that’s true, how the hell are dynamic web sites going to work? that will pressure to make use of lots of javascript and wouldn’t permit using methods akin to templates. It’s value mentioning that I learn such data in previous posts and I couldn’t discover present data, however my intuition tells me that at the moment any browser caches .html recordsdata, am I proper?
Static pages are rendered as they’re by Go.
Static pages with dynamic information the place the information is handed to the template to {{.}} and rendered by Go.
Totally dynamic pages is generally constructed by Javascript and rendered by the browser.
And there are pages rendered in Go and components of the content material is up to date utilizing Javascript and innerHTML.
That’s how I interpret it. However the time period “dynamic” is floating.

Add Cache-Management header by your ResponseWriter.

Oh sorry, I used to be referring to the shopper aspect, if I inform the browser to not cache the .html, what’s going to occur to the .css and .js (that are hyperlinks within the physique of the .html)? Will the identical guidelines I put within the header for the .html apply to them or is that unbiased for every file?
Don’t do something on the shopper aspect. The server signifies the caching management. The browser is aware of what to do from the cache management header for each useful resource it retrieves.
Right here’s what you are able to do on the shopper, however I’d keep away from it and simply set the suitable header on the server.
