Plush is a powerful, flexible, and extendable templating system for Go that allows embedding dynamic code inside templates. It supports variables, functions, recursion, conditionals, and whitespace-trimming output tags in an ERB-like syntax.

Use cases

• render dynamic HTML templates in a Go web app
• embed variables and functions inside Go templates
• write templates with conditionals and loops in Go
• generate emails or documents from Go templates
• define reusable helper functions inside templates
• build templates for a Buffalo web framework project

When to choose

• you need a more expressive template language than Go's standard html/template
• you want to define variables and functions directly inside templates
• you are using the Buffalo framework or want ERB-style templating in Go
• you need recursion or closures within template logic

When to avoid

• you want the simplest, most battle-tested option and prefer Go's standard library html/template
• you need strict sandboxing against untrusted template authors, since Plush embeds executable logic
• your team prefers logic-less templates like Mustache or Handlebars
