Embed Directive in Logo

Here’s the translation of the Go code to Java, with explanations in Markdown format suitable for Hugo:

Java does not have a direct equivalent to the embed directive. However, we can achieve similar functionality using resource loading or by reading files at runtime. Here’s an example that demonstrates how to include and read file contents in a Java program:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

public class ResourceExample {

    // Load the contents of a file as a String
    private static final String fileString = loadResourceAsString("folder/single_file.txt");

    // Load the contents of a file as a byte array
    private static final byte[] fileByte = loadResourceAsByteArray("folder/single_file.txt");

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        // Print out the contents of 'single_file.txt'
        System.out.print(fileString);
        System.out.print(new String(fileByte, StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

        // Retrieve some files from the resources folder
        String content1 = loadResourceAsString("folder/file1.hash");
        System.out.print(content1);

        String content2 = loadResourceAsString("folder/file2.hash");
        System.out.print(content2);
    }

    // Helper method to load a resource file as a String
    private static String loadResourceAsString(String resourcePath) {
        try (InputStream inputStream = ResourceExample.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(resourcePath)) {
            if (inputStream == null) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Resource not found: " + resourcePath);
            }
            return new String(inputStream.readAllBytes(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to load resource: " + resourcePath, e);
        }
    }

    // Helper method to load a resource file as a byte array
    private static byte[] loadResourceAsByteArray(String resourcePath) {
        try (InputStream inputStream = ResourceExample.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(resourcePath)) {
            if (inputStream == null) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Resource not found: " + resourcePath);
            }
            return inputStream.readAllBytes();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to load resource: " + resourcePath, e);
        }
    }
}

In this Java example, we use the ClassLoader to load resources from the classpath. This is a common way to include files in a Java application. Here’s a breakdown of the key points:

  1. We define static fields fileString and fileByte to hold the contents of a file as a String and byte[] respectively.

  2. The loadResourceAsString and loadResourceAsByteArray methods are helper functions that read the contents of a file from the classpath.

  3. In the main method, we print the contents of the files and demonstrate how to load multiple files.

To run this example, you need to ensure that the files are in the correct location in your project structure. Typically, you would place these files in the src/main/resources directory of a Maven or Gradle project.

Here’s how you might set up the file structure:

$ mkdir -p src/main/resources/folder
$ echo "hello java" > src/main/resources/folder/single_file.txt
$ echo "123" > src/main/resources/folder/file1.hash
$ echo "456" > src/main/resources/folder/file2.hash

To compile and run the program:

$ javac ResourceExample.java
$ java ResourceExample
hello java
hello java
123
456

This approach allows you to include files in your Java application and access them at runtime. While it’s not exactly the same as the embed directive, it provides similar functionality for including external files in your program.
