Using the namespace macro

The namespace macro allows you to contain the scope of your code without needing to write a new file. It is modeled based off of the Typescript namespace feature

macro import namespace

namespace store:
    store_contents = {}

    def load_store():
        print("Loading from store...")

    def save_store():
        print("Saving to store...")

    export def set(key, value):
        store_contents[key] = value
        save_store()

    export def get(key):
        return store_contents[key]

    load_store()

We can then access the functions that are exported from the namespace. For example, the set and get keys.

# Set and get a key
store.set('test', 'Hello world!')
print(store.get('test'))

However, you cannot call functions that are not exported. In this example, you cannot run the load_store and save_store functions.

# You cannot access unexported keys
store.load_store() # This will error
store.save_store() # This will error

Note that you cannot export variables at the current time due to the structure of the program. If you want this, you may open a pull request with the feature to the Github repo.
