go-resemble is a RESource EMBedder Like Every other.
go get -u github.com/thijzert/go-resemble/...
To embed all files in a directory assets/, run:
go-resemble -o assets.go assets
This writes a file assets.go which contains all files in the earlier directory. This file defines a function getAsset(name string) ([]byte, error) that can be used to retrieve the original file's contents.
You can also create a debug build like this:
go-resemble -debug -o assets.go assets
A debug build creates the same getAsset function, but keeps reading the files from disk. This is useful during development.
go-resemble can be used as a library, for instance, in a build script.
package main
import "context"
import "log"
import "os"
import "os/exec"
func main() {
ctx := context.Background()
f, _ := os.Create("assets.go")
var emb resemble.Resemble
emb.PackageName = "main"
emb.Debug = true
emb.AssetPaths = []string{"assets"}
if err := emb.Run(ctx, f); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error running 'resemble': %v", err)
}
c := exec.CommandContext(ctx, "go", "build", "-o", "webserver", "webserver.go", "assets.go")
if err := c.Run(); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("compilation error: %v", err)
}
