Script to convert a directory of files to a kotlin file with const vals of file contents

README.md

Description

A script to read all files in a given directory and convert their content to kotlin's const val file_name = """file content"""

Running

The script expects kotlinc to be on the path.

1. Download the dirToKt.kts file
2. Make it executable chmod +x dirToKt.kts
3. Run is like any other script ./dirToKt.kts [targetDirectory] [outputFile]

Alternatively you could run it with kotlinc directly: kotlinc -script dirToKt.kts [targetDirectory] [outputFile]

dirToKt.kts

#!/usr/bin/env kotlinc -script
import java.io.File
import java.lang.IllegalArgumentException


fun File.forEachFileRecursively(action: (File) -> Unit) {
    if (isDirectory) {
        listFiles().forEach { it.forEachFileRecursively(action) }
    } else {
        action(this)
    }
}

val rootDir = File(runCatching { args[0] }.getOrElse { throw IllegalAccessException("Missing target directory argument at position [0]") })
val outFile = File(runCatching { args[1] }.getOrElse { throw IllegalArgumentException("Missing output file argument at position [1]") }).apply(File::delete)
val illegalValNameCharacterRegex = "([\\\\\\/-]|\\.|,| )".toRegex()

rootDir.forEachFileRecursively {
    if(it.canonicalPath != outFile.canonicalPath) {
        val name = it.relativeTo(rootDir).path.replace(illegalValNameCharacterRegex, "_")
        val content = it.readText()
        outFile.appendText("\nconst val $name = \"\"\"$content\"\"\"\n")
    }
}
