Import

The import keyword is used to include definitions from other modules or files into the current file.

Syntax

Section titled “Syntax”
[pub] import "module_path" [as alias];
  • The path must be a string literal.
  • You can optionally use as to give the imported module an alias.
  • If you didn’t specify an alias, the module’s public definitions will be available under its original name. eg. import "utils/helpers" will make the definitions available as helpers in the current file.

Example

Section titled “Example”
import "utils/helpers.gluax" as helpers;
// same as
import "utils/helpers" as helpers;
// same as
import "utils/helpers";


func main() {
    helpers::do_something();
}

Notes

Section titled “Notes”
  • All import statements must come before any other items in the file. You cannot place an import after a class, function, or any other item.
  • The .gluax extension in the import path is optional.
  • You can use relative paths like ./ or ../ in the import string.
  • Import paths must resolve to files within your workspace/project directory. Attempting to import files outside the project directory will result in an error.
  • Using as allows you to avoid naming conflicts.
