Hi,

Version 1.1 has the new loader command. This lets us pre-load stuff when we start up the server - different PRG/HRB files with functions that we can use in our program.

For example: I've got an index.html file where I inject some PRG code. In that code, I'm calling a function called mylib1().

<html>
<h1>Loading modules</h1><hr>

<?prg 
    local cHtml := mylib1()
	
retu cHtml 
?>
<hr>

So, if I haven't defined this function in Harbour, HIX will throw an error saying it doesn't know what this function is.

I'm going to create 2 files with functions that I'll use in my app.

mylib1.prg

function mylib1()
retu mylib2()

mylib1() calls a function mylib2() that will be in another file.

mylib2.prg

function mylib2()
retu 'From mylib2() => ' + dtoc(date()) + ' ' + time()

Now the only thing left is to use the "loader" command to tell it to load these modules on startup.

   Root: /        Description 
════════════════════════════════════════
   mylib1.prg     Test lib1 
   mylib2.prg     Test lib2

When we start the server, the page will run properly.

Now HIX can run modules in HRB format. This means that if we specify .hrb files in the loader, HIX will automatically handle it - if there's a same-named .prg file, it'll load, compile, and save it. This way we can create our HRBs without worrying about the process. And when we publish the app, we could protect the PRG source code by only distributing the HRB files!

Muy bueno.
Gracias
