Open embedded file using geoip2 library. Is it possible?

[Hasarin Danuningrat]

Hi, I am newbie in go and try to use pkger to embed a file that will be open by other library (github.com/oschwald/geoip2-golang) instead of standard package os. So far, no success.

Here's the snippet

func main() {

	pkger.Include("/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb")
	// _, err := pkger.Open("/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb")
	// if err != nil {
	// 	log.Fatal(err)
	// }
	
        // db, err := geoip2.Open("GeoLite2-Country.mmdb") //this works .mmdb outside compiled file/binary

        // doesn't work
	db, err := geoip2.Open("/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb") 
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	
	ip := net.ParseIP("202.14.44.123")
	record, err := db.Country(ip)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("The country: %s",record.Country.Names["en"])
	defer db.Close()
}

Am I missing something?
Thank you

@hadan Try to use pkger.Open, ioutil.ReadAll and geoip2.FromBytes.
