This package is obsolete. New programs should use https://pkg.go.dev/embed instead. This repository remains to support existing use.
This repository provides a tool to compile static data into a Go binary, and to access those data via a file-like interface.
The compiledata program generates a Go source file in the specified package
that embeds the contents of the named file globs:
compiledata -pkg staticdata -out static.go data/*
The resulting file can be compiled into a package in the usual way. This tool
can also be invoked from go generate rules.
In common use, the main package will blank import the static data package, and
other packages access the files via the staticfile package:
import "github.com/creachadair/staticfile"
f, err := staticfile.Open("data/main.css")
...
defer f.Close()
doStuffWith(f)
