Single File for Multiple Class?

[yetneverdone]

Hi, I am using the OOP Library "classic", I created a single "item" class as a base class for many more classes like "cabinet", "crib, "toys", etc.

I was wondering if I can just use a single file that will contain all of the children class. It seems inconvenient if i will create a file for each class.

Its a question of your personal style. For löve it really doesnt matter, it becomes zipped to a single .love file anyway.
But sometimes it is usefull to glue all sources into a single .lua file. In this case i do a package preloading in my main lua source file like:

Code: Select all

package.preload["classic"] = function(...) 
  -- module source here.
  ..
end;

This solution is nice for code folding editors too.

I recommend making a file for each class, no matter how small. This way your code looks a lot more organized and you can navigate your classes easier.
