export_file

$ echo "hello" | export_file

export default "hello\n";

Ever wish you could just import a text file into your javascript code? No? Well, I needed to once. Use rollup or other modern tools to import it:

import my_file_contents from './my_file_contents.js';

Usage

export_file                   ; reads stdin, writes to stdout
export_file -o outfile        ; reads stdin, writes outfile
export_file -o outfile infile ; reads infile, writes outfile
export_file infile            ; reads infile, writes to stdout

Makefile

o/%.js : %.txt
	export_file -o $@ $^
