Importing scripts

you can distribute your code in more than 1 files.

for example, we have 2 files: app.pashm, fib.pashm. app.pashm is main file. fib.pashm contains a function to show fibonaccy algo.

fib.pashm:

# this function prints fibonacci pattern
func fib
    $a = 1
    $b = 1

    while $a < 10000
        println($a)

        $tmp_a = $a
        $tmp_b = $b

        $a = $tmp_b

        $b = $tmp_a + $tmp_b
    endwhile
endfunc

app.pashm:

import 'fib.pashm'

fib()

when we run import function and pass a file path to that, content of that file will be included in our code and will be ran. for example, here we used a function from the fib.pashm file.

also you can import more than 1 scripts in one command:

# seprate them with `,` (actially a tuple or list)
import('a.pashm', '/path/to/b.pashm', 'dir/c.pashm')

import_once function

there is a command named import_once. this is excatly like import function, but this function do not repeats for import one script.

for example, we have a file named foo.pashm:

foo.pashm:

$a = 100

now, we import this file Two times:

import('foo.pashm')
println($a)
$a = 300
import('foo.pashm')
println($a)

output:

100
100

because i imported this script two times and my code sets $i two times.

but if i use the import_once function:

import_once('foo.pashm')
println($a)
$a = 300
import_once('foo.pashm')
println($a)

output:

100
300

because, import_once function checks the file, and if files already imported, don’t imports again.

Importing directory

You can import directories, the directory should have __init__.pashm file.

for example:

import '/path/to/some/dir' # means import `/path/to/some/dir/__init__.pashm`

when you import a directory, __init__.pashm file in that directory will be imported.
