In my experience, even a modest form can end up with dozens of labels for fields, hints, and errors. So, I guess what I'm wondering is that if I go the route of creating a object to fetch labels, is there a public API in FLOW3 for accessing files in the resources directory?

well, there will be even an API for fetching labels, but unfortunately we're not there yet.

However, if you would like to access a file in the Resources folder of package "Foo", you can use FLOW3's stream handler for this:

$content = file_get_contents('package://Foo/Private/My/SpecialFile.txt');

In a Fluid template you can only refer to files located in the Resources/Public/ directory and you do that via the URI view helper.

Points to Foo/Resources/Public/Images/MyLogo.png if the current package is Foo: 
 <img src="{f:uri.resource(path: 'Images/MyLogo.png')}">


I hope that helps,
robert
