Modules, Imports, and the Prelude

Import a named binding from a source-relative module. This example includes the companion file used by the checker.

from p"helpers.dewy" import answer
printl(answer())

Expected output:

42

Create helpers.dewy beside the importing file:

answer = ():>int64 => 42

A bare import splats the module's top-level names into the importing file; a name that collides is an error. Add as to keep them in a namespace instead:

import p"helpers.dewy"
import p"helpers.dewy" as helpers
printl(answer())
printl(helpers.answer())

Run the example from a file with dewy example.dewy. Its exact output is checked by the website build on the native release target.

Design boundary. The Modules, Imports, and the Prelude reference specifies the complete language rules. A passing example covers this program only. See generated coverage for related acceptance programs and unmeasured areas.
