Interface TextResourceFactory

  • @Incubating
public interface TextResourceFactory
    Creates TextResources backed by sources such as strings, files, and archive entries.

    Example usages: 

     def sourcedFromString = resources.text.fromString("some text content")

 def sourcedFromFile = resources.text.fromFile("path/to/file.txt")

 task someTask {} // assumption: produces a text file and declares it as output
 def sourcedFromTask = resources.text.fromFile(someTask)

 def sourcedFromArchiveEntry =
   resources.text.fromArchiveEntry("path/to/archive.zip", "path/to/archive/entry.txt")

 configurations { someConfig } // assumption: contains a single archive
 def sourcedFromConfiguration =
   resources.text.fromArchiveEntry(configurations.someConfig, "path/to/archive/entry.txt")
    File based factory methods optionally accept a character encoding. If no encoding is specified, the platform's default encoding is used.
