I have a program with the following components:
* a main.nim file, a utils.nim file and story.nim
* story.nim defines a type Story and also its tostring procedure. A proc in
utils returns the story object. main calls the proc to get the story and prints
it.
* I need to import story in utils but not in main, as due to type inference I
do not need to actually specify story type anywhere in main.
If I echo my story type in main, the tostring used is the default one for a
type, and not the one I defined.
If I import story in main, then my tostring is used.
main.nim
import utils
let story = parseStory(...)
echo(story) # this prints the default object string. if I import story in
this file, then the custom tostring is used.
Run
utils.nim
import story
proc parseStory*(filename: string): Story =
...
Run
story.nim
type
Story* = object
...
proc `$`*(s: Story): string =
....
Run
Is there a way to print story with the custom representation I defined without
importing it in main, by binding it with the type somehow?
