Ingest Files

Statically importing files as a Str or a List U8 (list of bytes):

import "some-file" as someStr : Str
import "some-file" as someBytes : List U8

Code

app [main!] { pf: platform "https://github.com/roc-lang/basic-cli/releases/download/0.18.0/0APbwVN1_p1mJ96tXjaoiUCr8NBGamr8G8Ac_DrXR-o.tar.br" }

import pf.Stdout
import "sample.txt" as sample : Str

main! = \_args ->
    Stdout.line! "$(sample)"

Output

Run this from the directory that has main.roc in it:

$ roc main.roc
