inline
inline embeds files into Go programs and provides an interface for reading them. It is meant as a drop-in replacement for ioutil.ReadFile().
Usage:
inline [-o filename.go] [-p packagename] filenames...
Options:
-o
Output filename. Results go to stdout if empty.
-p="main"
Package name for the generated file.
Go Generate
inline can be invoked by go generate:
//go:generate inline -o files.go -p main list.txt names.txt
Example
First generate code with inline -o files.go -p main list.txt names.txt
Then use ReadAsset(string, bool) to get the file you want.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
data, err := ReadAsset("list.txt", false)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Unable to read file: %v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Printf("%s", data)
}
