Cannot export to native code from more than one module

[martinellison]

If I try something like

export * from "./exports.slint";
export * from "./meta.slint";

then I get an error message re-exporting modules is only allowed once per file.

Also, I can only export to native code from one slint file.

So I can only export to native code from (a) my main slint file and (b) one more file.

But I want to be able to modularise my slint code into several files (modules) and export from all of them to the native code.

Please add this capabilty (or document how to do this).

Hi,

It's only the export * from that is currently allowed once in a file. What you work is this:

import { MyType } from "./exports.slint";
import { MyMetaType } from "./meta.slint";

export { MyType, MyMetaType }

This is done on purpose, to make sure there can't be conflicts if two files have the same exports

(Commit 7980eda7e11bc3399e2eb53207443eb7e921466d adds a note in the docs)

Ok thanks, I'll try that.

Hello, I have a issue with this. I am using 1.3.2 version of slint and i am exporting 2 views ( MainView and App ) but the native code takes just one of them. Actually the last one that I exported. Here is the explanation:

export MainView:=Window {
    // Style
    width: 500px;
    height: 500px;
    title: "Program";
    background: goldenrod;
    }

This is MainView module and,

import {MainView} from "./index.slint";
import {ROOT_GLOBAL} from "./global.slint";
export {App,MainView}
component App inherits Window {
  height: ROOT-GLOBAL.window-height;
  width: ROOT-GLOBAL.window-width;
  title: @tr("Slint + SurrealismUI + Rust");
  // MainView {}
}

This is where i export the modules. When I export export {App,MainView} like this inative code can see the MainView but it can't see App module. In the other hand if I try to export like export {MainView,App} then it can see App but not MainView.

Why is that happening?
