Simple resource packager for golang projects.
spac allows you to embed static resources in a golang source file.
The executable expects two arguments:
Usage: spac <directory> <filename>
<directory> : directory containing the resources to package
<package> : name of the golang package that will contain the resources
spac functions by traversing the directory pointed out by the first argument,
adding the content of each file in a golang source file.
Each file's content is stored as byte array in a map named Content described
by a properly escaped string contained in the map. The key of each entry in
the Content map is the full path path to that resource file.
The source file will be created in a golang package named after the second parameter.
A good way to employ spac in your project's workflow is to use it in
conjunction with the go generate command. For instance, add the following
line at the beginning of your main.go:
//go:generate spac www static
To package the content of your resource directory you will have to run
go generate in your project.
This will package the content of the directory named "www" into a source
file named static.go contained in a folder named static. The source will
contain a resource map named Content in a golang package named static.
You can then use all the resources packaged as byte arrays from within your go code.
