Crate build_script_file_gen

This module encapsulates convenience methods to generate files via build scripts and include their content within source files during build time.

Examples

//Step 1: In build.rs (build script) do,
extern crate build_script_file_gen;
use build_script_file_gen::gen_file_str;

fn main() {
    let string_content = "Hello World!";
    gen_file_str("hello.txt", &string_content);

    //or

    let rust_code = r#"println!("Hello World!");"#;
    gen_file_str("hello.rs", &rust_code);
}

//Step 2: In your module do,
#[macro_use] 
extern crate build_script_file_gen;
 
fn main() {
    //hello.txt contains the text: Hello World!;
    //which will make this function print Hello World! when compiled
    println!(include_file_str!("hello.txt"));

    //or

    //hello.rs contains the text: println!("Hello World!");
    //which will make this function print Hello World! when compiled
    include_file!("hello.rs");
}

Macros

include_file	Places the content of the specified file in the surrounding code unhygienically. i.e. This can be used to inject Rust code into your module.
include_file_str	Includes the utf8-encoded content of the specified file as a string.

Functions

gen_file_str

When used inside a build script (build.rs), generates a file under the specified file name and includes the specified utf8-encoded string as its content.
