# embd-rs

A super simple file and directory embedding crate,
that loads files from the filesystem on debug mode,
allowing for quick edit-and-test cycles without compilation.

It is also super efficient, and does not heap allocate when the
files are embedded on release mode by utilizing `std::borrow::Cow`.

On release mode it falls back to `include_str!`, `include_bytes!`
and our own custom `include_dir!`-like implementation.

## Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

```toml
[dependencies]
embd = "0.1"
```

Then you can use this crate like so:

```rs
let contents: Cow<'_, str> = embd::string!("path/to/file.txt");
let bytes: Cow<'_, [u8]> = embd::bytes!("path/to/image.png");

let dir: embd::Dir = embd::dir!("path/to");
let files: Vec<embd::File> = dir.flatten();
```

Note that you will need to enable the `procmacro2_semver_exempt` cfg
option to use this crate, you can enable it like so, by putting this in
`.cargo/config.toml` in the project root:

```toml
[build]
rustflags = [ "--cfg", "procmacro2_semver_exempt" ]
```

## To-Do

- [ ] Hot reloading of files in debug mode.
- [ ] Don't depend on `procmacro2_semver_exempt`.
