TextResourceFactory - Gradle DSL Version 2.14.1

# TextResourceFactory

API Documentation: | `TextResourceFactory`

Note: This class is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Creates `TextResource`s backed by sources such as strings, files, and archive entries.

Example usages:

    def sourcedFromString = resources.text.fromString("some text content")

    def sourcedFromFile = resources.text.fromFile("path/to/file.txt")

    task someTask {} // assumption: produces a text file and declares it as output
    def sourcedFromTask = resources.text.fromFile(someTask)

    def sourcedFromArchiveEntry =
      resources.text.fromArchiveEntry("path/to/archive.zip", "path/to/archive/entry.txt")

    configurations { someConfig } // assumption: contains a single archive
    def sourcedFromConfiguration =
      resources.text.fromArchiveEntry(configurations.someConfig, "path/to/archive/entry.txt")

File based factory methods optionally accept a character encoding. If no encoding is specified, the platform's default encoding is used.
