Pkger is a Go library and CLI tool for embedding static files into Go binaries, using Go Modules-aware pathing. It serves as a replacement for gobuffalo/packr, generating a pkged.go file containing embedded asset metadata.
Use cases
- embed static assets like css and js into a single Go binary
- ship a self-contained Go web server with templates and assets
- replace gobuffalo/packr for embedding files in Go
- include build artifacts in a Go binary at package time
- serve embedded files from a Go application without external files
When to choose
- you want a single deployable Go binary with no external asset files
- you are already using Go modules and want module-aware asset embedding
- you are migrating from packr v2
When to avoid
- you are on Go 1.16+ and can use the standard embed package instead
- you need frequent asset updates without recompiling
- you are concerned about embedding local filesystem paths in binary metadata
