Location of external modules

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi,

Does anyone know where are the external modules located?

For example, when I require the “physics” module, where is it loaded from?

I don’t find this module anywhere on my computer…

Thanks a lot!

They are compiled and built in to the engine. As far as I know you can’t get to them.

#3

Thanks for the response!

And do you know where is this engine located?

I installed the Corona SDK today, and I see it includes Several DLLs and Jars…maybe it’s one of them (I’m talking

about the physics engine only)?

#4

I do not know.

#5

Is there something in particular you are looking for?

No, just would like to get a better understanding.

For example, when I use “require” in node.js, I know that the module is found in the “node_modules” folder.

So it’s interesting to know how it works here…at the moment looks like non explainable magic :slight_smile:

Thanks!

When you do a require, it looks in your project folder and it looks in our core…  The modules in the core have no visibility from the OS that I’m aware of.  So it is a little magic.
