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.

fromArchiveEntry(Object archive, String entryPath, String charset)Creates a text resource backed by the archive entry at the given path within the given archive. |
TextResource |
fromArchiveEntry(Object archive, String path)Same as fromArchiveEntry(archive, path, Charset.defaultCharset().name()). |
TextResource |
fromFile(Object file, String charset)Creates a text resource backed by the given file. |
TextResource |
fromFile(Object file)Same as fromFile(file, Charset.defaultCharset()). |
TextResource |
fromString(String string)Creates a text resource backed by the given string. |
Creates a text resource backed by the archive entry at the given path within the given archive. The archive format is determined based on the archive's file extension. If the archive format is not supported or cannot be determined, any attempt to access the resource will fail with an exception.
archive - an archive file evaluated as per Project.filesentryPath - the path to an archive entrycharset - the archive entry's character encoding (e.g. "utf-8") Same as fromArchiveEntry(archive, path, Charset.defaultCharset().name()).
Creates a text resource backed by the given file.
file - a text file evaluated as per Project.filescharset - the file's character encoding (e.g. "utf-8") Same as fromFile(file, Charset.defaultCharset()).
Creates a text resource backed by the given string.
string - a string
