# Pkger
[`github.com/markbates/pkger`](https://godoc.org/github.com/markbates/pkger) is a tool for embedding static files into Go binaries. It will, hopefully, be a replacement for [`github.com/gobuffalo/packr/v2`](https://godoc.org/github.com/gobuffalo/packr/v2).
## How it Works
Pkger is powered by the dark magic of Go Modules, so they're like, totally required.
With Go Modules pkger can resolve packages with accuracy. No more guessing and trying to
figure out build paths, GOPATHS, etc... for this tired old lad.
With the module's path correctly resolved, it can serve as the "root" directory for that
module, and all files in that module's directory are available.
Paths:
* Paths should use UNIX style paths:
`/cmd/pkger/main.go`
* If unspecified the path's package is assumed to be the current module.
* Packages can specified in at the beginning of a path with a `:` seperator.
github.com/markbates/pkger:/cmd/pkger/main.go
* There are no relative paths. All paths are absolute to the modules root.
```
"github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo:/go.mod" => $GOPATH/pkg/mod/github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo@v0.14.7/go.mod
```
## CLI
### Installation
```bash
$ go get github.com/markbates/pkger/cmd/pkger
$ pkger -h
```
### Usage
```bash
$ pkger
```
The result will be a `pkged.go` file in the **root** of the module with the embedded information and the package name of the module.
```go
// ./pkged.go
package <.>
// Pkger stuff here
```
The `-o` flag can be used specify the directory of the `pkged.go` file.
```bash
$ pkger -o cmd/reader
```
The result will be a `pkged.go` file in the **cmd/reader** folder with the embedded information and the package name of that folder.
```go
// cmd/reader/pkged.go
package <reader>
// Pkger stuff here
```
## Usage
Pkger's API is modeled on that of the [`os`](https://godoc.org/os) package in Go's standard library. This makes Pkger usage familiar to Go developers.
```go
type Pkger interface {
Parse(p string) (Path, error)
Current() (here.Info, error)
Info(p string) (here.Info, error)
Create(name string) (File, error)
MkdirAll(p string, perm os.FileMode) error
Open(name string) (File, error)
Stat(name string) (os.FileInfo, error)
Walk(p string, wf filepath.WalkFunc) error
Remove(name string) error
RemoveAll(path string) error
}
type File interface {
Close() error
Info() here.Info
Name() string
Open(name string) (http.File, error)
Path() Path
Read(p []byte) (int, error)
Readdir(count int) ([]os.FileInfo, error)
Seek(offset int64, whence int) (int64, error)
Stat() (os.FileInfo, error)
Write(b []byte) (int, error)
}
```

func main() {
if err := run(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
func run() error {
w := tabwriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout, 0, 0, 0, ' ', tabwriter.Debug)
defer w.Flush()
return pkger.Walk("/public", func(path string, info os.FileInfo, err error) error {
if err != nil {
return err
}
fmt.Fprintf(w,
"%s \t %d \t %s \t %s \t\n",
info.Name(),
info.Size(),
info.Mode(),
info.ModTime().Format(time.RFC3339),
)
return nil
})
}
```
### Output Without Packing
```bash
# compile the go binary as usual and run the app:
$ go build -v; ./app
