Modules are a way to organize your code into separate files and namespaces. Like any other programming language, Tim Engine allows you to define modules and import them into other parts of your code. This helps you keep your codebase clean, modular, and maintainable.
🔗Importing local modules
To import a module in Tim Engine, you can use the @import statement followed by a stringified path to the module file. For example:
@import "utils"
@import "../some/other/utils"🔗Standard library modules
Tim Engine comes with a standard library that provides a wide range of built-in functions and modules for common tasks. You can import standard library modules using the @import statement with the module name. For example:
@import "std/math"🔗External packages
If you have installed external packages using the package manager, you can import modules from those packages as well. The syntax is the same as importing local modules, but you need to prefix the import path with the pkg keyword. For example:
@import "pkg/bootstrap/grid"This will import the grid module from the bootstrap package. For more information on how to deal with packages, see the package manager documentation.
