What is the difference between
class A {
}
class B {
Class['B'] -> Class['A']
}
and
class A {
}
class B {
require a
}
To my understanding they should be the same - establishing that 'A' is executed before 'B', but only the second form seems to do that.
-> (ordering arrow; a hyphen and a greater-than sign) — Applies the resource on the left before the resource on the right.
So in your first example:
Class['B'] -> Class['A']
means apply B
before A
.
In second example, the require function causes A
to become a dependency of B
. Simplifying apply A
before B
.
