[Caml-list] embedding js_of_ocaml output?

[Malcolm Matalka]

This might be a really trivial question but perusing the js_of_ocaml
website I didn't see it answered:

Has anyone gone about embedding js_of_ocaml in an ocaml application?
Specifically, I want ship a binary that runs a small embedded webserver
and provides the GUI over that.  The obvious solution is just to add
building the js_of_ocaml output in the build process then make a fake
module that just has a string with the output in it and compile that in.
Hacky but I don't see why it wouldn't work but I'm sure somebody has a
clever idea out there.

Thanks!

'crunch' from OPAM will do what you want:

$ opam search crunch
Available packages for system:
crunch  --  Convert a filesystem into a static OCaml module

(let me know if there's anything in there that's Mirage specific and
I'll fix it).

I believe 'ocamlify' also does the same thing from OASIS, but I've not
used it.

$ opam search ocamlify
Available packages for system:
ocamlify  0.0.1  Include files in OCaml code

Awesome! Thank you!
