LEARN VOID / FOUNDATIONS

Modules & imports

Organize a program into small source files.

Three source files

Keep these paths relative to main.void: math/calculator.void and helpers/numbers.void. The downloaded main file imports both.

main.voidDownload source ↓

use "/math/calculator.void" as calculator
use "/helpers/numbers.void"

func entry(value: i32) -> i32:
    return calculator.double(value) + increment(value)

Input 5Expected result 16

Import with use

use imports a source file. An as alias gives its declarations a qualified name, while an unaliased import permits unambiguous direct names.

Read the path in project context

The entry file’s parent directory establishes the project root. A leading slash in an import is relative to that virtual root, not the operating system’s root directory. Relative dot paths resolve from the importing file.

Keep the example together

This example needs main.void plus math/calculator.void and helpers/numbers.void. The calculator doubles 5 and increment adds one to 5, giving 16. Package imports and escapes outside the project root remain outside the supported import model.
