Import from parent folder?

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Import from parent folder?

Skn3 (Posted 2013) [#1]

Lets say I have a module structure: module/module.monkey module/import1.monkey module/folder/import2.monkey in module.monkey I: "Import import1" "Import folder.import2" in import1.monkey I: "Import module" in import2.monkey I: ? Is there a way to do "Import ..module"? e.g. import from a parent directory? I could currently either put all source files in the root folder, or hard code the module path... any better ideas?

Import module does not work? If not, then i guess it is a bug. Or is the module name the same as a class name?

import "../module.monkey"

Import module should work

What Ziggy says. Your app dir is it's own little module hierarchy, so you can reach any module in the app by importing it 'from the top'. eg: myapp.monkey 'contains 'Main'. myutils/util1.monkey myutils/util2.monkey util1 can be reached from anywhere in the app using Import myutils.util1.

If I import "native/system.cpp" from my module, how would i access a header file from the system.cpp file? "#include ../../file.h" would include it from my project using the module not the module?
