Squirrel Exports and Imports

The main big feature of QScript is the export system. It lets you export classes, objects and functions which other files can import from your script.

Let's say that you have a library called "MyLib.nut" inside a mod called "MyMod". This is what it contains:

MyMod/MyLib.nut

class AdditionClass
{
    function Add(a,b)
    {
        return a + b;
    }
}

Addition <- AdditionClass() -- Exports can only use global variables!

Now to export the Addition object, pass them to the export() function at the end of the file.

MyMod/MyLib.nut

export(Addition);

To import the exported elements in another file, simply use the import() function with the file path of the script you want to import from.

MyLib <- import("MyMod/MyLib.nut");

MyLib.Addition.Add(2,5); -- will return 7
