Using winglibs

Wing libraries (winglibs) can be installed using the npm command line tool.

Here is an example of installing the wing-redis winglib.

npm i wing-redis

Then in your Wing source code, the library can be imported by name using a bring statement:

bring "wing-redis" as redis;

new redis.Redis();

Libraries can expose the following kinds of API elements:

• Classes
• Structs
• Interfaces
• Enums
• Constants (coming soon - see https://github.com/winglang/wing/issues/3606 to track)

APIs in libraries can also be organized hierarchically for better organization. For example, a library may split up its API elements between multiple modules (also sometimes called "namespaces"):

bring "my-wing-payments-library" as payments;

new payments.charges.Charge();
new payments.customer.Customer();
