you can have a macro which slurps the content and emits the edn as code

that will work somewhat, but you run into issues with compiler cache invalidation

here’s a thread on how to do it in shadow-cljs: https://clojureverse.org/t/using-none-code-resources-in-cljs-builds/3745

that’s a good point

I don’t think other tooling (i.e. figwheel or clojurescript compiler) has done anything similar to this though

unrelated question, shadow-cljs has also support for reading env variables in a safe way, correct?

I am not sure about that

https://shadow-cljs.github.io/docs/UsersGuide.html#shadow-env looks like this does

cool
