So, i am generating files, and I was planning on calling them all

foo.gen.toit

However seemingly can not be imported, due to the

.

Next I tried calling them all

goo_gen.toit

However this is also annoying as It leads to needing to

import foo_gen

which also would be nice to avoid. Would it be possible to make everything after a

.

in a file actually be determined to be part of the file extension? And then also make toit allow / look for

.*.toit

and

.toit

?

You could use

import foo_gen as foo

as a workaround?

so right now I have

import ..messages.messages_gen
// Usage of something from that imported place
Position.MT

Your point about ambiguity makes sense though

Discord formatting .... 🙂

maybe not

.*.toit

, perhaps a

.gen.toit

special case would be nice. Really it would / could be nice then to have these combined into a single includable resource

foo.toit

and

foo.gen.toit

in combination

I think it is a super valid point and maybe settling on a way to deal with generated stuff is a good idea. For now, maybe

_gen

is the best. Have you considered not letting the users import the

_gen

files directly, but use an

export

in a non-generated file that then holds the weird

import

?

Yeah, perhaps I should tihnk about this for a second too. This will be in a public repo so once I manage to get a working commit to solve my todays problem I'll think about it a little more and can link it etc 🙂

So yes, its quit enear after adding the additonal file commit is https://github.com/lightbug-io/toit-lightbug/commit/7e6957e181c11573211291cca9dccf4825658beb and the file is https://github.com/lightbug-io/toit-lightbug/blob/7e6957e181c11573211291cca9dccf4825658beb/src/messages/messages.toit
