Imported files _must_ be in the same project so that units are uniform across
|
||||
modules. This means that it must be in the same directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Import statements must be at the top-level of a file. It is not allowed to have
|
||||
an `import` statement inside a function or in the body of an if‑else.

You can import files from the current directory or from subdirectories, but if importing from a

subdirectory you can only import `main.kcl`.

## Functions vs `clone`

@ -229,6 +229,19 @@ The final statement is what's important because it's the return value of the
|
||||
entire module. The module is expected to return a single object that can be used
|
||||
as a variable by the file that imports it.
|
||||
|
||||
The name of the file or subdirectory is used as the name of the variable within the importing program.
|
||||
If you want to use a different name, you can do so by using the `as` keyword:
|
||||
|
||||
```kcl,norun
|
||||
import "cube.kcl" // Introduces a new variable called `cube`.
|
||||
import "cube.kcl" as block // Introduces a new variable called `block`.
|
||||
import "cube/main.kcl" // Introduces a new variable called `cube`.
|
||||
import "cube/main.kcl" as block // Introduces a new variable called `block`.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the filename includes hyphens (`-`) or starts with an underscore (`_`), then you must specify a
|
||||
variable name.
