ReadFile
Overview
Reads an entire file with context cancellation — fs.promises.readFile with Go context support.
If you are coming from Node.js, the closest pattern is fs.readFile(path).
Signature
go
func ReadFile(ctx context.Context, path string) ([]byte, error)Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox
js
const data = await fs.promises.readFile('file.txt');go
data, err := os.ReadFile("file.txt")go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/fs"
data, err := fs.ReadFile(ctx, "file.txt")Example
go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/fs"
data, err := fs.ReadFile(ctx, "file.txt")Tips
Prefer context-aware I/O so requests can cancel long reads.
Standard library alternative
Use the standard library directly:
go
data, err := os.ReadFile("file.txt")
