This module provides two functions function that makes calling require() and mw.loadData() multiple easy.

Loading the module

To load this module and make its method available for use, Add this line of code to the start of your module:

require('Module:MultiRequire')

The described functions below will be able to be used as they are saved as global variables in the module this module was loaded in.

Alternatively, you can use this module using the code below by using Module:LoadLib.

local loadLib = require('Module:LoadLib')

_G = loadLib(_G, {
    { 'Module:MultiRequire' },
    -- Place any other modules to load in here...
})

Depending on the settings you used in loadLib(), the methods of this module may be available under their respective variables in the module this module was loaded in.

Return Values

This module returns two functions:

• multiRequire() - Allows of loading of multiple modules at once.
• loadDataMulti() - Exactly the same as multiRequire(), but uses mw.loadData() instead of require().

multiRequire

multiRequire(<module 1/modules>^(any), <module 2>^(any), ...^(any), <module N>^(any))
Returns any values returned by require() are returned. If the input is a table, it returns a table of the loaded modules. If variable length arguments are used, it returns the unpacked values. It will throw an error if the module is not found or if there was an error in loading one of the requested modules.

Examples

• multiRequire('Module:String') → <methods from Module:String>
• multiRequire{ 'Module:String', 'Module:Table' } → { <methods from Module:String>, <methods from Module:Table> }

loadDataMulti

multiRequire(<module 1/modules>^(any), <module 2>^(any), ...^(any), <module N>^(any))
Works exactly the same as multiRequire(), but uses mw.loadData() instead internally.

Examples

• multiRequire('Module:Pet/Data') → <data from Module:Pet/Data>
• multiRequire{ 'Module:UIText/Data', 'Module:Pet/Data' } → { <data from Module:UIText/Data>, <data from Module:Pet/Data> }
