How do you separate Mint code in a plurality of files (or how do you "import" code between Mint files) ?

How do you separate Mint code in a plurality of files (or how do you "import" code between Mint files) ?

For instance, how would you put the module Greet in a separate file and call it in the main module file

component Main {
  fun render : Html {
    <div>
      <button onClick={Greet.hello}>
        "Click here"
      </button>
    </div>
  }
}

module Greet {
  fun hello(event : Html.Event) {
    Debug.log("Hello")
  }
}

Every Mint project has a mint.json file which specifies the directories which contain source code: https://github.com/mint-lang/mint-realworld/blob/master/mint.json#L4

All *.mint files are parsed in the source directories and all entities are available in all files, so there is no need to import.

For instance, how would you put the module Greet in a separate file and call it in the main module file

Just create a new file Greet.mint (the name doesn't matter) in the source directory (which is the default) put the module there and that's it.
