Blorp by Example

Imports and Modules

Imports make module boundaries explicit while the prelude keeps common names available.

Prelude

Core types, Option, Result, List, Dict, Set, String, and console helpers are available by default.

prelude.brp

items: List[Int] = [1, 2, 3]
print(items.length().to_string())

Import just the functions you want with module: name.

selective-import.brp

import:
    json: parse_json

Use module as Alias for a qualified namespace.

qualified-import.brp

import:
    json as Json

parsed = Json.parse_json("{}")

A .brp file can be imported as a module by path.

module-import.brp

import:
    ./scores as Scores

print(Scores.classify(82))

private keeps helpers inside their module.

private.brp

private pure func helper(n: Int) -> Int:
    n + 1

scores.brp + main.brp

import:
	./scores as Scores


func main(args: List[String]) -> Void:
	print(Scores.classify(82))

terminal

blorp run main.brp
