Introduction
The AppleMods Loader system is a simple yet capable module loading system for the AppleScript language. It consists of the following:
- The AppleScript-based
Loader
module provides a number of commands and objects used to load modules into a script. - The AppleModsTools scripting addition is used to embed a copy of the
Loader
module in a script. - A number of ready-to-use modules can be used for common tasks such as performing math calculations and manipulating lists.
Loader supports Mac OS X 10.4 and later (Mac OS X 10.5+ recommended).
In addition to loading existing AppleMods modules, scripters can use Loader to load their own modules. Any compiled .scpt
or .scptd
file can be used; the only requirements are that the file’s name follows AppleMods naming conventions and is placed in a folder that is accessible to Loader.
