Is there a way to create global functions and/or variables that can be shared across multiple applets? Or does an applet live in its own ‘sandbox’ and cannot access shared routines?
Thank you for your question. Formativ applets currently run in a sandboxed environment, and cannot load shared code. The only way currently to ‘share’ code is to cut and paste source between applets.
Formativ 2.0, which is due for release early next year, does provide a mechanism where applets can chain other applets, and also share data dynamically.
We do have firm plans to add true code reuse facilities similiar to C++
<#includes>
, but I cannot say when this feature will become available.
