cc-require

A standards compatible implementation of require, and part of the package library, as specified by the Lua Manual

Allows for compatability with many non-CC Lua programs and API.

Examples

Standards compatible:

local api = {}
function api.hello(what)
    print("Hello, " .. what .. "!")
end

return api

The ComputerCraft way:

function hello(what)
    print("Hello, " .. what .. "!")
end

The main difference is that with standard require, APIs return a table containing the API, where as in ComputerCraft's os.loadAPI, the global environment of the API file is put into _G[api_filename].

This implementation of require allows you to import either type API. It will however not place it in the global environment.

-- API file: /lib/api.lua
local api = require("api")

api.hello("World")

-- API file: /lib/test/api.lua
local api = require("test.api")

api.hello("ComputerCraft")

The search paths, where require looks for the API, can be found at the top of require.lua
