So you’re writing an interface and you make some useful routines and then you realize that you’d like to use this library in other components.

How do you do this?

You can create libraries which are then re-usable from any other Iguana X component.

Create a Component

Set an upstream repository & Set upstream Git repo

  • Click the Create Folder icon

  • Enter the folder name and click and click the green [CREATE] button

  • You should see something like this:

  • Select the Create File menu optin on the FOO folder

  • Enter the folder name and click and click the green [CREATE] button

  • Create a function in the BAR.lua file, you can paste this example:

  • function FOObar()
   return "The world needs more FOO";
end

  • You should see something like this:

  • Click the Commit changes toolbar button

  • The commit dialogue will open, enter a commit message and click the green [COMMIT] button

  • Click the Push changes to remote toolbar button

  • The upstream repository will look something like this:
    NOTE: FOO is currently just a folder

If you look at the FOO library it should have the BAR.lua file in it.

If you look at the repo for the component it should have the link to the library in it. It doesn’t currently - there is a bug.

Bang - this work flow is currently broken as of 10.1.80
