Statically importing files as a Str or a List U8 (list of bytes):

import "some-file" as someStr : Str
import "some-file" as someBytes : List U8

Code

app [main] { pf: platform "https://github.com/roc-lang/basic-cli/releases/download/0.17.0/lZFLstMUCUvd5bjnnpYromZJXkQUrdhbva4xdBInicE.tar.br" }

import pf.Stdout
import "sample.txt" as sample : Str

main =
    Stdout.line! "$(sample)"
