Pasted Pasted

Nuget

Pasted is a simple .NET source generator that allows for compile time embedding of text files into your application. It is particularly useful for embedding resources such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or any other text-based files directly into your code. It works well for source generators and applications that are compiled ahead of time (AOT).

How to use

Add the embedded files to your project, for example:

<ItemGroup>
    <AdditionalFiles Include="wwwroot\index.html" />
    <AdditionalFiles Include="wwwroot\css\site.css" />
    <AdditionalFiles Include="wwwroot\js\site.js" />
</ItemGroup>

Then in an .editorconfig file add the following property,

[wwwroot/index.html]
embed = true

[wwwroot/css/site.css]
embed = true

[wwwroot/js/site.js]
embed = true

Then finally add the Pasted source generator to your project:

<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Pasted" Version="x.x.x">
        <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
        <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
    </PackageReference>
</ItemGroup>

The source generator will then generate a static class with constants for each file, which you can use in your code:

// the EmbeddedFiles static class is generated by the source generator
const string html = EmbeddedFiles.Index;
const string css = EmbeddedFiles.Css;
const string js = EmbeddedFiles.Js;

The namespace, class name, and constant field names can be configured in the .editorconfig file.

Configuration Options

Option Type Default Description
embed boolean false Enables embedding this file into the generated class. Files with embed = true will be included.
namespace string Pasted Overrides the namespace used for the generated static class.
class_name string EmbeddedFiles Overrides the name of the generated static class that contains file constants.
name string Derived from file name (sans extension) Overrides the constant field name for the file; by default uses the file name without extension.
public boolean false Controls visibility of generated class and its fields; true makes them public, else internal.
