In Lua, you can import a module or file using the require function.
For example, let's say we have a file named mymodule.lua with the following code:
local mymodule = {}
function mymodule.say_hello()
print("Hello from my module!")
end
return mymodule
Now, let's say we want to use the say_hello function in another file. We can do that by importing the module with require.
In a different Lua file, we can import mymodule like this:
local mymodule = require("mymodule")
mymodule.say_hello() -- this will output "Hello from my module!"
Here, we are assigning the value returned by require("mymodule") to a variable called mymodule, which now holds a reference to our mymodule.lua file.
We can then call the say_hello function from the mymodule variable and it will print "Hello from my module!" to the console.
