# TextResourceFactory

interface TextResourceFactory(source)

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")

    def sourceFromUri = resources.text.fromUri("https://example.com/resource")

    def sourceFromInsecureUri = resources.text.fromInsecureUri("http://example.com/resource")
