Modules and packages

Use case: split a helper into another file

// fragment-only
pub fn origin() -> int {
    return 42
}

import util

fn main(caps: Caps) -> int {
    return util.origin()
}

vow run main.vow

Use case: depend on vow-web-server

vpm init my-api && cd my-api
vpm add vow-web-server@0.2.1
vpm install

import vws from vow_web_server
import vow_web_server.request
import vow_web_server.response

fn health(_req: request.Request) -> response.Response {
    return vws.json("{\"ok\":true}")
}

Syntax	Meaning
`import util`	Local / path module
`import vow_web_server.request`	Package submodule (Request type)
`import vws from vow_web_server`	Package entry (`main` in `project.toml`)
