Description

ppx_blob allows you to include a binary blob from a file as a string. Writing [%blob "filename"] will replace the string with the contents of the file at compile time. This allows the inclusion of arbitary, possibly compressed, data, without the need to respect OCaml's lexical conventions.

Added to opam-repository:

README

ppx_blob

This is an OCaml PPX to include a binary blob from a file as a string. Writing [%blob "filename"] will replace the string with the contents of the file at compile time. This allows the inclusion of arbitrary, possibly compressed, data, without the need to respect OCaml's lexical conventions.

The filename can be relative to either the source file where [%blob] appears, or relative to the current working directory. If both files exist, the former takes precedence.

Integration with build systems

Dune

Add (preprocessor_deps (file path/to/file)) to your library or executable stanza. See test/dune for an example. This will make sure the file is copied to the build directory and therefore visible to ppx_blob.

Development

Requirements:

Run make and make test.

Build status

Results of building ppx_blob with each compiler on check.ci.ocaml.org, run of against opam-repository 7cdc698. All results for this package.

Each result links to its build log. To keep crawlers from overloading the site, build logs require a GitHub sign-in (see ocurrent/opam-health-check). On your first log, GitHub asks you to “Authorize opam-health-check”, the OCurrent app that runs these checks; it sees only your public profile, not your repositories. The sign-in lasts 30 days.
