Namespace support for easy code reuse?

[T4r4ntul4]

How exactly does that work?

Do you have any sample code?

Do you mean Modules or is there a new feature in v2?

Looks to me like that is probably referring to Modules as that is how SB and PB do namespacing.

I build all my code in modules, mainly for separation of concern but also for some reuse. Eg I have a DateTime module for some date functions not yet supported by SB, a Registry module for a global dictionary, I'm working on a local storage module, etc.

I tend to have a separate file for each module declaration too for maximum flexibility. Then my main file simply includes all the required files before opening the first window.


Edit: typos

Nowhere in the docs its saying that 'Namespace' is the same as 'Modules'.

Fred, can you shed some light on this?

[SparrowhawkMMU]

In some other programming languages, modules are known as 'namespaces'.

From: https://www.spiderbasic.com/documentati ... odule.html

I suspect Fred uses namespaces on the home page as that is the more common term in use outside of SB/PB. Although Xojo also uses modules to namespace, iirc

I understand now my own confusion....

When i search on some keyword in the docs it will light up in blue. When i did search for namespaces it will not light up in the docs, because its in brackets...
