.NET Core: Get Embedded File in Assembly

Program.cs

// NOTE: if the file is embedded in the executing assembly, this code can be simplified
// NOTE: this works even if the file is not embedded in the executing assembly
private async Task<string> GetEmbeddedFile(string fileName)
{
    // NOTE: this code is not great but allows us to have the stored procedure js in the TryAzureCdn.Data project
    // Resources (.resx file) are not working with embedded files
    var assembly = typeof(DocumentDBRepository).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
    var resourceName = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().FirstOrDefault(m => m.Contains(fileName));
    Stream resourceStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName);
    string fileContents = string.Empty;
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(resourceStream, Encoding.UTF8))
    {
        fileContents = await reader.ReadToEndAsync();
    }

    return fileContents;
}
