go-bytefy

A simple utility to encode a file (or any other data) into a Go byte slice.
Handy for embedding binary assets directly in your Go code.

installation

go install github.com/tiagomelo/go-bytefy/cmd/gobytefy@latest

This installs the binary into the bin directory of your $GOPATH.

Check it with:

go env | grep GOPATH

To run gobytefy from any terminal, ensure your $GOPATH/bin is on your $PATH:

export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH"

gobytefy --package assets --file img.png --output assets/logo.go --id LogoPng

This generates a Go file assets/logo.go with the following structure:

package assets

var LogoPng []byte = []byte{
	0x89, 0x50, 0x4e, 0x47, 0x0d, 0x0a, 0x1a, 0x0a,
	// ...
}

Flag	Description
`-p`, `--package`	Go package name
`-f`, `--file`	Input file to encode as byte slice
`-o`, `--output`	Output file path
`-i`, `--id`	Go identifier for the byte slice (e.g. `LogoPng`)
