Chapter 6: Import


Chapter 6: Import


Whoa! You'll notice we just cleaned up the code to the right, and you now have tabs at the top of your editor. Go ahead, click between the tabs to try it out.
Our code was getting pretty long, so we split it up into multiple files to make it more manageable. This is normally how you will handle long codebases in your Solidity projects.
When you have multiple files and you want to import one file into another, Solidity uses the import keyword:
import "./someothercontract.sol";

contract newContract is SomeOtherContract {

}

So if we had a file named someothercontract.sol in the same directory as this contract (that's what the ./ means), it would get imported by the compiler.

Put it to the test


Now that we've set up a multi-file structure, we need to use import to read the contents of the other file:
1. Import zombiefactory.sol into our new file, zombiefeeding.sol.

pragma solidity ^0.4.25;

import "./zombiefactory.sol";

contract ZombieFeeding is ZombieFactory {

}
