19 It is possible to create a resource directly from the template using `resources.FromString` which takes two arguments, the given string and the resource target path.
20
21 The following example creates a resource file containing localized variables for every project's languages.
22
23 ```go-html-template
24 {{ $string := (printf "var rootURL = '%s'; var apiURL = '%s';" (absURL "/") (.Param "API_URL")) }}
25 {{ $targetPath := "js/vars.js" }}
26 {{ $vars := $string | resources.FromString $targetPath }}
27 {{ $global := resources.Get "js/global.js" | resources.Minify }}
28
29 <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ $vars.Permalink }}"></script>
30 <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ $global.Permalink }}"></script>
31 ```
