1. Modules

MinitScript supports module script files, in short modules, including the transpilation of them.

1.1. Creating a module

You are declaring a script file as module script file by the "module" statement. Module script files are only allowed to have functions, callables and stacklets.

This is module_1.tscript, which will be used in module-test.tscript in section 1.2.

module

# this function is provided by our module_1.tscript
function: module1Function()
	console.printLine("-----------------")
	console.printLine("module1Function")
	console.printLine("-----------------")
end

1.2. Using a module

You are including a module by the "use: " statement. After the colon the relative path to the script module file is required. Note that modules can also include modules.

See a module-test.tscript, which uses module_1.tscript from the section 1.1. above.

use: module_1.tscript

# initialize
on: initialize
	console.printLine("-------------------------")
	console.printLine("module-test: Initialize")
	console.printLine("-------------------------")
	console.printLine()
end

# main
function: main()
	console.printLine("-----------------------")
	console.printLine("module-test: Nothing")
	console.printLine("-----------------------")
	console.printLine()
	# call module 1 functions
	console.printLine("main: Calling module1Function() from module_1.tscript")
	module1Function()
end
