Serve files from embedded resources (rust-embed)

[imclint21]

Hi,

I'm looking for serve files that are store as embedded resources, the goal is to have a small WebUI compiled into the binary and serve it easily!

Do you have a good way to do that with warp? maybe you could propose this kind of feature.

Kind regards

I was looking for something similar and couldn't find anything, so I wrote a macro to do it. You can find it here: static_dir.

Could you clarify what you mean by embedded resources? Do you mean like things compiled in, like using include_str! or similar?

[imclint21]

yeah exactly!

You know in C++ you can add files with resources.h i speak about the same things.

If you have the resource available as a &'static str or &'static [u8], you can just use that in a reply, like this example:

warp/examples/websockets_chat.rs

Line 43 in 2587c59

let index = warp::path::end().map(|| warp::reply::html(INDEX_HTML));

Oh it's a good idea
