Require

How to use:

• use: Require( pathToFile )
• example: Require( "classes/core/printer")
• note:
  • do NOT add any prefixes like cl_, sv_, sh_ or the .lua file ending
  • Scince all files are included only one time it is recommended to save the return into alocal variable
• require( "require" ) -> unhandled lua refresh when saving a Require() file
• include( "includes/modules/require.lua" ) -> lua refresh working

What it does:

• all found files get combined and included ONCE and table pointer is saved for following requires
• if the file was required before, the same pointer gets returned
• combined means sh_printer.lua & sv_printer.lua (in the example) will be returned (serverside) and sh_printer.lua & cl_printer.lua (clientside) as single table
• scans in lua and gamemode folder by default
• no prefix is handled like sh_

How it works:

• meta-table magic

Why I do this:

• worked a lot with javascript recently
