Exports

Placement

Export statements may appear at the top level of a .slint source file, interleaved with component definitions.[sls.export.placement]

Privacy

Names defined in a .slint source file are private to that file by default. A name is visible to importers only if it is explicitly exported.[sls.export.default-private]

Form

An export statement has one of the following forms:[sls.export.forms]

export component Name { /* ... */ }
export { Name, ... }

slint

Export at the Declaration Site

The form export component Name { ... } defines a component and exports it in a single statement. The exported name is the component’s own name.[sls.export.declaration-site]

Export Lists

The form export { Name, ... } exports one or more names already defined in the current file. A trailing comma is permitted.[sls.export.list]

An export list item is either a bare identifier Name or a renaming of the form Name as Other. A renaming exports the locally-defined Name under the external name Other. The local name Name remains defined in the current file.[sls.export.rename]

Each identifier on the left of as, and each bare identifier, shall refer to a name defined in the current file.[sls.export.left-must-exist]

Duplicate Exports

A source file shall not export the same external name more than once. This includes the combination of any declaration-site export and any export-list entry.[sls.export.no-duplicates]
