bindata is a fork of jteeuwen/go-bindata by jteeuwen branched off at d3feb9534c with changes not meant to be pushed to the upstream repository.
This package converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a Go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice.
It comes with a command line tool in the bindata sub directory.
This tool offers a set of command line options, used to customize the
output being generated.
Installation
~ $ go get -u github.com/rjeczalik/bindataDocumentation
godoc.org/github.com/rjeczalik/bindata
Installation
To install the library and command line program, use the following:
~ $ go get -u github.com/rjeczalik/bindata
~ $ go install github.com/rjeczalik/bindata/cmd/bindataDocumentation
godoc.org/github.com/rjeczalik/bindata/cmd/bindata
When no input files nor directories are provided via command line flags,
bindata reads $GOPATH workspaces and attempts to convert all files it
finds recursively in $GOPATH/data, generating a bindata.go file in a matching
$GOPATH/src directory. The match is always the longest path diff between
$GOPATH/data and $GOPATH/src, in order to avoid having assets which content
overlaps. For example, running:
~ $ GOPATH=/home/user bindataover the following $GOPATH workspace:
/home/user

~ $ GOPATH=/home/user bindata
ok bitbucket.org/user/hidden/subpackage (/home/user/src/bitbucket.org/user/hidden/subpackage/bindata.go) 0.001s
ok github.com/user/example (/home/user/src/github.com/user/example/bindata.go) 0.002sRunning bindata in this mode will ignore any values passed by -o, -pkg and
-prefix flags.
