Question

From my play20 application i need to generate a HTML file which includes all the external .css/.js/etc.

To generate the HTML file i use
views.html.MyView(Parameter).toString()

But i need to replace the:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="@routes.Assets.at("stylesheets/bootstrap.css")">

with

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> 
  @icludeTextFrom(routes.Assets.at("stylesheets/bootstrap.css"))
  This function should read the bootstrap.css file and embed it's content here.
</script>

Is there some functionality in Play 2.0 to embed an other file or do i have to copy the content of the files by hand?

Thanks
Fabian

Yes, there’s functionality:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://somedomain.tld/somescript.js">
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> 
    Bootstrap code
</script>

In other words: using src='@routes...' isn’t obligatory thing, it’s just a helper, you can also replace with static files. You can also add whatever you want to your view, because it’s your view.
