That’s how you can use it:

package server

import "embed"

// content holds our static web server content.
//go:embed image/* template/*
//go:embed html/index.html
var content embed.FS
data, _ := f.ReadFile("html/index.html")
print(string(data))

package server

import "embed"

// content holds our static web server content.

//go:embed image/* template/*

//go:embed html/index.html

var content embed.FS

data, _ := f.ReadFile("html/index.html")

print(string(data))

Or embedding one file directly into a variable:

import _ "embed"

//go:embed hello.txt
var s string
print(s)

import _ "embed"

//go:embed hello.txt

var s string

print(s)
