DEPRECATED content - very simple Go package to create static content in Go binaries
The embed package in Go since 1.16 should be used instead of this.
The content package is useful when you want to incorporate static content, such as HTML files, in your Go binary. A common use case is static HTML files or template files for a Go-based Web server.
- Small, simple. straightforward
- Put your static content files into a directory
- Write some simple glue code (example included)
- Run go generate
- Generated Go source file defines static string constants for each of your static content files
- Use these string constants in your code

Overview ¶
Package content creates static content embedded in your Go binary, such as HTML files for a Web server. You provide the static content in files; then you call GenerateContent at go generate time to create a Go source file. The generated source file defines static const strings, one for each static content file. The generated string for the file 'index.html' is 'Index_html' for example. The constant is in the namespace "staticContent". Note: All files are read into memory, they should not be very big.
