multiple static paths

[jrhare]

Have /static path with web content I'd like to serve and /templates for server consumption. Tried the following but got compile error on generated code (variable redefined or something like that):

var fs1 http.FileSystem = http.Dir("static")
vfsgen.Generate(fs1, vfsgen.Options{})

var fs2 http.FileSystem = http.Dir("templates")
vfsgen.Generate(fs2, vfsgen.Options{})

This is an enhancement request to support multiple virtual file system's in same app.

Note: because templates are for internal server consumption, I'm not asking to support multiple static paths in the same VFS (although that would be nice as well but not what I need right now).

Have you seen package github.com/shurcooL/httpfs/union?

For example, see it being used here.

You could do something like this:

// Assets contains assets for some project.
var Assets = union.New(map[string]http.FileSystem{
	"/static":    http.Dir("static"),
	"/templates": http.Dir("templates"),
	// plus anything else
})

Then serve static content with something like:

assetsFileServer := httpgzip.FileServer(assets.Assets, httpgzip.FileServerOptions{})
http.Handle("/static/", assetsFileServer)

For templates, you can use package github.com/shurcooL/httpfs/html/vfstemplate.

This is an enhancement request to support multiple virtual file system's in same app.

There's an issue tracking that, it's issue #23.
