About:
GoStatik is a command-line tool that bundles static files such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images into a single Go source file. This generated file implements a virtual filesystem that allows your application to serve these assets without depending on the underlying file system. It simplifies deployment by ensuring all necessary assets are compiled directly into the binary.
Key Features:
  • Embeds static assets directly into Go binaries
  • Implements an in-memory virtual filesystem (http.FileSystem)
  • Zero-dependency deployment of web assets
  • Integrates with the standard Go build process
Use Cases:
  • Deploying Go web applications with embedded frontend assets
  • Creating self-contained command-line tools with web-based UIs
  • Distributing single-file binaries without external asset directories
Alternatives:
  • packr – Packr is a similar tool but often requires a separate CLI step, whereas statik focuses on generating a single source file.
  • go:embed – Go 1.16+ native directive that achieves similar goals without third-party tools, making statik less necessary for modern projects.
