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.
The following example creates a resource file containing localized variables for every project's languages.
```go-html-template
{{ $string := (printf "var rootURL: '%s'; var apiURL: '%s';" (absURL "/") (.Param "API_URL")) }}
{{ $targetPath := "js/vars.js" }}
{{ $vars := $string | resources.FromString $targetPath }}
{{ $global := resources.Get "js/global.js" | resources.Minify }}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ $vars.Permalink }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ $global.Permalink }}"></script>
```
