dataloader

dataloader is a cangjie macro package that loads files as arrays or strings. This is useful to bundle resources inside the binary, like images and sounds.

Note: relative paths are local to the project. The program will fail to compile if built from a different folder than expected. These macros work best when used in executable projects.

Macros

• LoadBytes - Load file as Array
• LoadText - Load file as String

Examples

Load file as array of bytes

Loads file as byte array. Can be slow for big files.

@LoadBytes[bytes]("test_data/file2.bin")
// will result in this after compiling:
let bytes: Array<Byte> = [0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0xF0, 0xF1, 0xF2, 0xF3, 0xF4, 0xFE, 0xFF]

Load file as string

Loads text file as string. Multiline files are supported.

@LoadText[text]("test_data/file1.txt")
// will result in this after compiling:
let text = "\n this is a \"string\"!\nthis text is in a new line\n"

load as private static const

Any keyword between [] is used in the output. If only the variable name is set, let is used.

@LoadText[private static const constText]("test_data/file1.txt")
// will result in this after compiling:
private static const constText = "\n this is a \"string\"!\nthis text is in a new line\n"
