Crate static_files 

static-files - the library to help automate static resource collection

Legal

Dual-licensed under MIT or the UNLICENSE.

Features

• Embed static resources in executuble
• Install dependencies with npm package manager
• Run custom npm run commands (such as webpack)
• Support for npm-like package managers (yarn)
• Change detection support to reduce compilation time

Usage

Create folder with static resources in your project (for example static):

cd project_dir
mkdir static
echo "Hello, world" > static/hello

Add to Cargo.toml dependency to static-files:

[dependencies]
static-files = "0.3"

[build-dependencies]
static-files = "0.3"

Add build.rs with call to bundle resources:

use static_files::resource_dir;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    resource_dir("./static").build()
}

Include generated code in main.rs:

include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/generated.rs"));

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let generated = generate(); // <-- this function is defined in generated.rs
    // ...
    Ok(())
}

By default, ‘static-files’ collects all files in operation system defined order, but you can change it by activating ‘sort’ feature in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
static-files = { version = "0.3", features = ["sort"] }

[build-dependencies]
static-files = { version = "0.3", features = ["sort"] }
