as-inliner

as-inliner

as-inliner allows you to inline the contents of a file into your AssemblyScript. This all happens at build time as either a string or a StaticArray.

Example & Documentation

const image: StaticArray<u8> = Inliner.inlineFileAsStaticArray(
  "../images/hero.png"
);
const welcomeText: string = Inline.inlineFileAsString("../README.md");

export function main(): void {
  /* ... */
}

It’s worth nothing that inlining a file as a string will assume that the file is encoded in UTF-8 and will put it into linear memory in WTF-16, taking up ~twice as much space (but gzip compression will negate most of that).

Usage

as-inliner works through ASC transforms:

$ npx asc -b your/output/path/file.wasm --transform as-inliner -O3

or place it in your asconfig.json:

{
  ...
  "options": {
    "transform": ["as-inliner"]
  }
}

Or extend the asconfig.json here:

{
  "extend": "as-inliner/asconfig.json"
}
