Its README says the idea and implementation were taken from Camlistore and split out because the author needed the pattern across multiple projects. ### Adoption history statik became part of the pre-Go-1.16 static-asset embedding ecosystem, especially for Go services with a small web component that wanted a single binary instead of separate CSS, JavaScript, image, or HTML deployment steps. ### How it is used Practitioners run statik against a public directory, import the generated statik package for side effects, initialize the statik filesystem, and pass it to http.FileServer or open individual embedded files. ### Why package nerds care The package remains a concise example of the generated-source approach that the Go 1.16 embed feature later made part of the standard toolchain. ### Timeline - 2014: GitHub repository created for statik. - 2021: Go 1.16 added standard static-file embedding through //go:embed. ### Related projects - statik is related to Camlistore, go.rice, and the Go standard library embed package. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - library-like package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** go-statik - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - MacPorts - statik: installed executable or alias match | MacPorts ports tree: devel/statik/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Nix - statik: installed executable or alias match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/st/statik/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [go-rice](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-rice/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: asset-embedding, cli, developer-tools, go, static-files. - [go-bindata](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-bindata/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: asset-embedding, cli, developer-tools, go. - [addlicense](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/addlicense/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [ali](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ali/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [anycable-go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/anycable-go/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [asc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/asc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [asmfmt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/asmfmt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [aurora](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aurora/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [stuffbin](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/stuffbin/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
