Import & Export

Imports and exports are used to make bindings available across multiple files. Both import and export may not be nested within blocks.

Export

To export a binding from a file, just prefix the assignment with export.

export print := eval('console.log')

To import a binding from another file, add an import statement to the top of your file.

import { print } from './print.tn'

# prints `hello Tony` to stdout
print('hello Tony')

The imported bindings can also be renamed:

import { print -> puts } from './print.tn'

# prints `hello Tony` to stdout
puts('hello Tony')

import can also import JavaScript functions.

export const print = console.log

import { print } from './print.js'

# prints `hello Tony` to stdout
print('hello Tony')
