Create a library

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.

Add a component

Make sure it has an upstream repo

Create a directory FOO

Create a file BAR.lua in the directory with a function

Try this:

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

Commit your changes

Push the changes to the upstream repo

Right click and convert FOO to a library

Commit and push

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.

Now create a new component + FROM URL based on the git repo of this library
