require

require

Opens and executes Lua modules.

Use periods to seperate folders. If the module is a lua file, don't use the .lua extension in the string passed to require.

require("foo")
require("subfolder.bar")

LÖVE adds two loaders (before the Lua loaders) that search for modules in the game and save directory. These loaders are not affected by Lua's package.path.
