====== How to structure your Trisul Lua apps ======


A typical LUA app may contain several *.lua files some of them contain Trisul API and some others are supporting helpers. 

Check out the [[https://github.com/trisulnsm/apps/tree/master/analyzers|trisulnsm/apps]] repository to see how we have structured our apps.


===== Use a helpers subdirectory =====


Put all your helpers in a subdirectory called helpers and then add that to the package path in your main script 

<code lua>

-- 
package.path = package.path .. ';helpers/?.lua'

local IPPrefixDB=require'ipprefixdb'
