Read text file from a package

Groovy read file from package

// Quite different to ruby. Took me a little longer to find out how to do it than it should.
def template(filename) {
  def input = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/path/to/package/${filename}.template")
  new InputStreamReader(input, 'utf-8')
}

// If file is in your 'resources' folder then use the below
def templateFromResources(filename){
  def input = getClass().getResourceAsStream("templates/${filename}.template")
  new InputStreamReader(input, 'utf-8')
}
