How to create include files in Lua language?

I want to create a header file in Lua (header.lua), then execute the require function to load it.

How do I execute require to a file that I have created?

Solution 
  • require "header"

    See the require entry in the Lua Reference manual. The file "header.lua" must be somewhere in Lua's search path.

    You can see (and modify) the path at 

    package.path

    See the package.path entry in the the Lua Reference Manual

    This wiki page describes ways of creating modules to load with require.
