Library and Package Import
Library and package import features can speed development.
JavaScript libraries can be shared across cartridges using the importScript("cartridgename:path/scriptname.ds") syntax (the cartridge name is optional if the script is located in the current cartridge). You can also share JavaScript pipelets, which can be stored in a dedicated cartridge so they can be used from other cartridges.
Note: To specify the script, use the file name of the actual
script (name.ds), relative to the scripts folder containing the
pipeline or the scripts folder of another cartridge. A simple path refers
to the pipeline cartridge and a prefix such as 'cartridgename:' refers to
a specific cartridge.
