import

The import keyword makes the contents of a module available in a script or another module. This keyword operates with the keyword export as its counterpart.

An import statement assigns a module alias with as. A with block optionally lists imported names, and may restate types for clarity. Without a with block, exported elements are accessed through the module alias.

The use of import is documented together with export and modules.

import links, keyword

import links imports a link to another executable script. It does not import that script as a module. The imported alias exposes the script identifier as the constant Id.

import links "/project/path" as F

The imported F.Id is a scalar number and can be used in ordinary Envision expressions.

import links "/operations/replenishment" as Replenishment
import links "/operations/pricing" as Pricing

show summary "Linked script ids" with
  Replenishment.Id
  Pricing.Id

A script can contain several import links statements. Each linked script has its own alias, and its identifier is accessed through that alias.

import links only accepts executable scripts and instances. It cannot import modules or templates. Use ordinary import for module paths.
