staticfilemap

Procedural macro to embed optionally compressed files during compilation.

Similar to include_file! or include_dir!, but accepts a list of files that can be specified through environment variables and supports compression with LZ4 or zstd.

Usage

Derive from StaticFileMap to create a map.

Specify the files to be included and the names they should be accessed by with the files and names attributes. These can either be strings containing values separated with ;, or environment variables containing them when the parse attribute is set to env. Relative paths are resolved relative to CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR. If the names attribute is not specified, the names are inferred from the filenames.

The compression level is controlled by the compression attribute. With a compression level above 0 the included files are compresed with Zstd. Zstd supports a compression level up to 21. Alternatively, LZ4 can be used for compression by setting the algorithm attribute to lz4. LZ4 accepts a compression level up to 12.

The cargo features zstd and lz4 are available to select compression support. zstd is enabled by default.

Files can be accessed as &'static [u8] slices by the get(name) and get_match(name) functions at runtime. get_match(name) accepts partial names if only one name matches. keys() returns a list of all keys.

See the examples, the tests or the implementation for details.
