Namespaces
Namespace overview
Namespaces are used in Beef to organize types and to prevent name collisions. Note that elements in namespaces are always public.
namespace Gfx
{
// Defines "Gfx.Window" class
class Window
{
}
namespace Resources
{
// Defines "Gfx.Resources.Image" class
class Image
{
}
}
}
namespace Gfx.Resources
{
// Defines "Gfx.Resources.Shader" class
class Shader
{
}
}
Using namespaces
Although types can be referenced by their fully-qualified type name, their shorter unqualified name can be used if their containing namespaces are listed in using directives in that file.
using Gfx.Resources;
class Program
{
void Use()
{
// Shader refers to Gfx.Resources.Shader;
let s = new Shader();
}
}
