Bunle OAK static assets to the compiled binary

Hi, I am currently switching from NodeJS to Deno, and so far so good! One of the reasons for this switch is how easily i can compile everyting up in one executable, which is important for my use case. However, I'm not familiar with OAK and how it integrates, as i come from Express. I have the current code, which runs fine on the CLI, but doesn't serve the assets once compiled:

// ...imports
app.use(async (context, next) => {
  try {
    await context.send({
      root: `${Deno.cwd()}/src/www/public`,
      index: 'login.html',
    });
  } catch {
    await next();
  }
});
/// ...listen

// ...imports
app.use(async (context, next) => {
  try {
    await context.send({
      root: `${Deno.cwd()}/src/www/public`,
      index: 'login.html',
    });
  } catch {
    await next();
  }
});
/// ...listen

Is this something that is supported? Is there any way to bundle assets inside the executable? I've seen the Leaf library, but i wouldn't know how to integrate it in this scenario thanks

I've seen https://github.com/NfNitLoop/deno-embedder recommend, it looks good haven't tried it

Docs aren't very complete, but after looking around the source code and implementing it correctly, it works like a charm! Thanks a bunch
