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 {
}
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 {
}
import "./zombiefactory.sol";
contract ZombieFeeding is ZombieFactory {
}
