Namespace{ "namespace_name"; field = value, }Where "field," "value," and "namespace_name" may be replaced with the named quantities. The fields will thereafter be available as members of the namespace as follows:
namespace_name.fieldNamespaces may additionally contain placeholders indicating that the value for a field may be obtained by loading another file. These take the following form:
Namespace{ "name"; external_field = in_file("path/to/file.lua"), }These fields will not be accessible until they are "required;" this may be indicated with the "Require" function:
Require(name.external_field)If a file must be loaded to obtain the value for a required field, it will be loaded during the call to "Require." Certain functions (for example, ActionClass and register_type) will allow a namespace to be specified as a field of the argument table:
register_type{ name = "CharacterClass", namespace = Basic, -- ... }This will add the field "CharacterClass" in the already-declared namespace "Basic" with the value being the class itself. -- ElminI - 29 Jan 2004
