Help: need guide to use render html static page

[ghost]

need some guide to make zio-http working with render html static page. Like: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/ScalaTemplates

What's the best practice to render html?

Here is an old commit with a zio-http twirl example project. Beware this was made for an earlier version of zio-http, and I dont know if you can migrate it to the latest version.

The ZIO HTTP Handler.template option is decent but not documented. Another option is Scala Tags. Twirl integration works and provides a decent migration path for Play users but doesn't seem like the right choice for anyone who can choose. Overall I'd vote for improving and documenting Handler.template :)

@jamesward What's the issue with Twirl? Any drawbacks or reasons to steer clear?

Overall I'd vote for improving and documenting Handler.template :)

Documentation aside, do you know any repo or Gist with a good example? Here's a cool example, looks solid. So, this is the route you'd recommend? Still keen on hearing about Twirl though ;)

Here is where I use Handler.template https://github.com/jamesward/javadoccentral/blob/master/src/main/scala/App.scala#L29

From what I remember, the primary reason I decided not to use Twirl was due to the lack of Scala 3 language support. ie I don't think I can use braceless syntax in Twirl templates. But maybe I'm remembering things wrong.

Oh, good point! Thanks.
