baked_file_system_mounter

Assemble files and directories into an executable binary using baked_file_system at compile time, then mount them onto a new file system at runtime.

Let us assume there are assets folders like this:

PROJECT_ROOT/
  src/assets/
  └── materialize
	  ├── css
	  │   └── materialize.min.css
	  └── js
		  └── materialize.min.js

What we want is:

  1. Assemble assets files in src/assets folder into binary when build.
  2. Then binary into /foo directory on target host, running it will extract assets from binary.

Look like this:

/foo/
  public/
  └── materialize
	  ├── css
	  │   └── materialize.min.css
	  └── js
		  └── materialize.min.js
3 directories, 2 files

With following configuration:

require "baked_file_system_mounter"

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
  {
    "src/assets" => "public",
  }
)

{% if flag?(:release) %}
  BakedFileSystemMounter::Storage.mount
{% end %}

Then you can use those assets both in development (src/assets/materialize) and production (public/materialize), like this:

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/materialize/css/materialize.min.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
      <%= yield_content "footer" %>
  </body>
</html>

Installation

  1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

    dependencies:
  baked_file_system_mounter:
    github: crystal-china/baked_file_system_mounter

  2. Run shards install

Usage

assemble accepts either a Hash or an Array.

Use a Hash when you want to map a source path to a different target path. Source paths may point to either a directory or a single file. Relative source paths are resolved from the compile-time working directory (pwd).

assemble supports string literals and string constants in the mapping. String interpolation and other macro expressions are not supported.

require "baked_file_system_mounter"

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
  {
    "src/assets" => "public",
    "db" => "db",
  }
)

if APP_ENV == "production"
  # Mount files in `src/assets` into `public` and files in `db` into `db`.
  # Target folders will be created if they do not exist.
  BakedFileSystemMounter::Storage.mount
end

String constants are also supported:

ASSETS_DIR = "src/assets"
PUBLIC_DIR = "public"

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
  {
    ASSETS_DIR => PUBLIC_DIR,
  }
)

Single file

You can also bake a single file to an exact target path:

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
  {
    "public/bun-manifest.json" => "public/bun-manifest.json",
  }
)

Directory + file

Directories and files can be mixed in a single assemble call:

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
  {
    "public/assets" => "public/assets",
    "public/bun-manifest.json" => "public/bun-manifest.json",
    "markdowns" => "markdowns",
  }
)

Array shorthand

You can pass an Array as argument too. In this case it uses PWD as the default source and target path for each entry.

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(["public", "db"])

# It's same as:

# BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
#   {
#     "public" => "public",
#     "db" => "db"
#   }
# )

if APP_ENV == "production" 
  BakedFileSystemMounter::Storage.mount
end

Absolute target path

It can be used to mount assets outside the current directory, for example into /tmp:

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
  {
    "sounds" => "/tmp/sounds",
  }
)

if APP_ENV == "production" 
  BakedFileSystemMounter::Storage.mount
end

Absolute source directory

The source path can also be an absolute directory path:

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
  {
    "/opt/my_app/assets" => "public/assets",
  }
)

Absolute source file

Absolute source paths also work for single files:

BakedFileSystemMounter.assemble(
  {
    "/opt/my_app/bun-manifest.json" => "public/bun-manifest.json",
  }
)
