Please, check our [contributing guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major changes. Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience. --> https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9773 introduced constants to modules and allowed to export them, but only within one level. This PR: * allows recursive exporting of constants from all submodules * fixes submodule imports in a list import pattern * makes sure exported constants are actual constants Should unblock https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9678 ### Example: ```nushell module spam { export module eggs { export module bacon { export const viking = 'eats' } } } use spam print $spam.eggs.bacon.viking # prints 'eats' use spam [eggs] print $eggs.bacon.viking # prints 'eats' use spam eggs bacon viking print $viking # prints 'eats' ``` ### Limitation 1: Considering the above `spam` module, attempting to get `eggs bacon` from `spam` module doesn't work directly: ```nushell use spam [ eggs bacon ] # attempts to load `eggs`, then `bacon` use spam [ "eggs bacon" ] # obviously wrong name for a constant, but doesn't work also for commands ``` Workaround (for example): ```nushell use spam eggs use eggs [ bacon ] print $bacon.viking # prints 'eats' ``` I'm thinking I'll just leave it in, as you can easily work around this. It is also a limitation of the import pattern in general, not just constants. ### Limitation 2: `overlay use` successfully imports the constants, but `overlay hide` does not hide them, even though it seems to hide normal variables successfully. This needs more investigation. # User-Facing Changes <!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps us keep track of breaking changes. --> Allows recursive constant exports from submodules. # Tests + Formatting <!-- Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes. Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands: - `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes) - `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A clippy::needless_collect -A clippy::result_large_err` to check that you're using the standard code style - `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass - `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library > **Note** > from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows > ```bash > use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it automatically > toolkit check pr > ``` --> # After Submitting <!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date. --> |

nu-cmd-lang
the base language and command crate of nu
The commands in this crate are the core commands of the nu language. It is also the base crate upon which all other command crates sit on top of including:
- nu-command
- nu-cli
- nu-cmd-dataframe
- nu-cmd-extra
As time goes on and the nu language develops further in parallel with nushell we will be adding other command crates to the system.
What does it mean to be a base crate ?
A base crate is one with minimal dependencies in our system so that other developers can come along and use this crate without having a lot of baggage in terms of other crates which will bloat their underlying application.
Background on nu-cmd-lang
This crate was designed to be a small, concise set of tools or commands that serve as the foundation layer of both nu and nushell. These are the core commands needed to have a nice working version of the nu language without all of the support that the other commands provide inside nushell. Prior to the launch of this crate all of our commands were housed in the crate nu-command. Moving forward we would like to slowly break out the commands in nu-command into different crates; the naming and how this will work and where all the commands will be located is a "work in progress" especially now that the standard library is starting to become more popular as a location for commands. As time goes on some of our commands written in rust will be migrated to nu and when this happens they will be moved into the standard library.
