An important aspect of every programming language is importing code created before either by you or by someone else. We call these **modules** in Nessa and you can import code selectively from them. Let's take a look at how. ## Syntax The syntax we need to use to import modules is as follows: ``` //Import function/s from a module import fn function_name from module_name; import fn {function_name1, function_name2, ...} from module_name; import fn * from module_name; //Import class/es from a module import class class_name from module_name; import class {class_name1, class_name2, ...} from module_name; import class * from module_name; //Import interface from a module import interface interface_name from module_name; import interface {interface_name1, interface_name2, ...} from module_name; import interface * from module_name; //Import syntax (macro) from a module import syntax syntax_name from module_name; import syntax {syntax_name1, syntax_name2, ...} from module_name; import syntax * from module_name; //Import operators from a module import prefix op "op" from module_name; import prefix op {"op1", "op2", ...} from module_name; import prefix op * from module_name; import postfix op "op" from module_name; import postfix op {"op1", "op2", ...} from module_name; import postfix op * from module_name; import binary op "op" from module_name; import binary op {"op1", "op2", ...} from module_name; import binary op * from module_name; import nary op "op" from module_name; // Concatenate open and close symbols for these import nary op {"op1", "op2", ...} from module_name; import nary op * from module_name; // Import everything from a module import * from module_name; ``` As you can expect, you have to configure the `module_name` module in your **nessa_config.yml** before importing it. ## Local imports Local imports are a special case that apply when you want to import code from a file that is not **main.nessa** and is located inside the project folder (with any number of anidated folders). For this, just use the syntax `/folder/of/the/file`, where the file is `/folder/of/file.nessa`. It is important the the path **starts with** `/`.
