Often you just need to reference files with paths. Use filepath.Join for cross-platform import "path/filepath" path := filepath.Join("data", "users", "profile.json") Get executable directory (to find linked assets) exePath, _ := os.Executable() dir := filepath.Dir(exePath) configPath := filepath.Join(dir, "configs", "app.yaml") Go module-aware paths (for testdata) // In a test: paths are relative to test file data, _ := os.ReadFile("testdata/input.txt") 5. Go generate – Link code generation to files Use //go:generate to run tools that transform external files into Go code. go file links
func main() data, _ := staticFiles.ReadFile("static/style.css") log.Println(string(data)) //go:embed logo
//go:embed static/* var staticFiles embed.FS go file links
