Importing binary files
Binary files can be imported in JS and TS files using the `import` keyword. This makes including static data in a library much easier. Using this feature requires `--unstable-raw-imports` CLI flag.
Binary files can be imported in JS and TS modules. When doing so, you need to specify the `type: "bytes"` import attribute.
./main.ts
import bytes from "./image.png" with { type: "bytes" };
console.log(text);Dynamic imports are also supported.
./main.ts
const text = await import("./image.png", {
with: { type: "bytes" },
});
console.log(bytes);./image.png
