Hello everyone,
seems like I’m here every couple of days now. I wanted to ask you about the readFile function, which I’m not capable or having it output the content of an SVG that I saved in the assets directory.
Here’s the shortcode
<pre class="inline-svg">
{{ $icon := resources.Get "SVGs/linux.svg" }}
{{ $icon | absURL | readFile | safeHTML }}
</pre>
which is called by a simple {{< svg >}}
.
I’m trying to keep it simple here, and that’s the reason why is inside a <pre>
block, I’m trying to figure out how this works.
the icon is inside the theme’s assets directory, here’s a tree view:
themedir
├── assets
│ ├── SVGs
│ │ ├── arrow-up.svg
│ │ ├── css3.svg
│ │ ├── git.svg
│ │ ├── github.svg
│ │ ├── home.svg
│ │ ├── html5.svg
│ │ ├── instagram.svg
│ │ ├── js.svg
│ │ ├── linux.svg
│ │ ├── markdown.svg
│ │ ├── sass.svg
│ │ ├── spotify.svg
│ │ └── twitter.svg
[...]
but readFile keeps returning nothing at all.
How can I debug the paths that are evaluated by the various functions? Is there a way to have a function output some more detailed errors when it doesn’t work?
Lastly, here’s the repository on github, in case you want to test it:
Thanks a lot in advance
cheers.
