This module provides a function that makes calling require() multiple times easy.

Features

• Provides a function to load multiple modules in one function call.
• Able to switch between a packed and unpacked table

Loading the module

To load this module and make its method available for use, Add this line of code to the start of your module:

local multiRequire = require('Module:MultiRequire')

All methods described below will be available under the loaded table.

Return function

This module returns a single function.

Parameters

multiRequire(module1: string[, module2: string, [, ...moduleN: string]]) -> unpacked<any>

multiRequire{ module1: string[, module2: string, [, ...moduleN: string]] } -> any[]

Returns any values returned by require() are returned. If the input is a table, it returns a table. If variable length arguments are used, it returns the unpacked values. It will throw an error if the module is not found or if it failed to load.

Examples

• multiRequire('Module:String') → <methods from Module:String>
• multiRequire{ 'Module:String', 'Module:Arguments' } → { <methods from Module:String>, <methods from Module:Arguments> }

Example Code

local multiRequire = require('Module:MultiRequire')
local libraryUtil, arguments = multiRequire('libraryUtil', 'Dev:Arguments')

-- You can now use libraryUtil and Dev:Arguments
