Baked File System

Include (bake them) static files into a binary at compile time and access them anytime you need.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  baked_file_system:
    github: schovi/baked_file_system
    version: 0.10.0

Usage

A custom type that extends BakedFileSystem is used as a file system. The macro bake_folder bakes all files in a given path into the virtual file system. Both relative and absolute paths are supported, as well as baking multiple folders.

require "baked_file_system"

class FileStorage
  extend BakedFileSystem

  bake_folder "/home/my_name/work/crystal_project/public"
  bake_folder "../public"
end

Files can be loaded using get and get? class methods.

file = FileStorage.get("path/to/file.png")

file.gets_to_end  # returns content of file
file.path         # returns path of file
file.size         # returns size of original file

When try to get missing file, get raises a BakedFileSystem::NoSuchFileError exception while get? returns nil.

begin
  FileStorage.get "missing/file"
rescue BakedFileSystem::NoSuchFileError
  puts "File #{path} is missing"
end

FileStorage.get? "missing/file" # => nil
