BrighterScript Imports

Managing script tags in component XML files can be tedius and time consuming. BrighterScript provides the import statement, which can be added to the top of your .bs files. Any xml file that includes that .bs file will automatically have all of its imports added as <script includes.

Basic example

src/components/Widget.bs

import "pkg:/source/lib.bs"

function Init()
    SomeFunctionFromLib()
end function

transpiles to pkg:/components/Widget.brs

'import "pkg:/source/lib.bs"

function Init()
    SomeFunctionFromLib()
end function

pkg:/components/Widget.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<component name="BaseScene" extends="Scene">
  <children>
    <Rectangle id="myRectangle" color="#FF0000" width="1920" height="1080" opacity=".6" translation="[0,0]" />
  </children>
  <script uri="Widget.brs" />
  <script uri="pkg:/source/lib.brs" />
</component>
