Each kaba source file is a module.
Given a source file source.kaba with contents
var a: i32
class X
...
func f()
...
you can then import those symbols and use them from another source file (skip .kaba):
use source.f # individually
use source.* # or all
f()
Or you can import the whole namespace:
use source
source.f()
If you have a tree of source files
base/
first.kaba
a/
second.kaba
b/
third.kaba
me.kaba
From within me.kaba, import:
use first
use a.second
use third
🔥 Rule: files are automatically searched in the current directory and "several" of its parents (i.e. base/b/ then base/).
🔥 Other directories need to be added with dots (base.a.second) relative to the common parent.
Multiple modules in one directory can be treated as one unit, a package.
The directory must contain a module with the same name:
a/
a.kaba
other.kaba
Now a simple
import a
is enough. a.kaba should export all relevant symbols...
🔥 The exact rules are still under development!
The kaba compiler provides several packages by default.
base.* and math.* are automatically imported.
Others include file management (os), image loading (image), networking (net), graphical user interfaces (hui), OpenGl (gl) and Vulkan (vulkan).
