How to do it…

Move to $GOPATH/src/my-first-beego-project/views and create dashboard.tpl and copy the following content:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <table border= "1" style="width:100%;">
      {{range .employees}}
      <tr>
        <td>{{.Id}}</td>
        <td>{{.FirstName}}</td>
        <td>{{.LastName}}</td>
      </tr>
      {{end}}
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

Move to $GOPATH/src/my-first-beego-project/controllers and edit firstcontroller.go to add the Dashboard handler, as follows:

package controllers
import "github.com/astaxie/beego"
type FirstController struct 
{
  beego.Controller
}
type Employee struct 
{
  Id int `json:"id"`
  FirstName string `json:"firstName"`
  LastName string `json:"lastName"`
}
type Employees []Employee
var employees []Employee
func init() 
{
  employees = Employees
  {
    Employee{Id: 1, FirstName: "Foo", LastName: "Bar"},
    Employee{Id: 2, FirstName: "Baz", LastName: "Qux"},
  }
}
...
func (this *FirstController) Dashbaord() 
{
  this.Data["employees"] = employees
  this.TplName = "dashboard.tpl"
}

Move to $GOPATH/src/my-first-beego-project/routers and edit router.go to add the GET mapping /dashboard, which will be handled by the Dashboard handler defined in FirstController, as follows:

package routers
import 
(
  "my-first-beego-project/controllers"
  "github.com/astaxie/beego"
)
func init() 
{
  beego.Router("/", &controllers.MainController{})
  beego.Router("/employees", &controllers.FirstController{},
  "get:GetEmployees")
  beego.Router("/dashboard", &controllers.FirstController{},
  "get:Dashbaord")
}

Run the project using the following command:

$ bee run
