Can It be possible to edit namespace

example.toc

Code:

## Title: example

## Interface: 80000

## blah~



exp1.lua

exp2.lua

exp1.lua

Lua Code:

local _, ns = ...
ns["player"].name = UnitName("Player")

exp2.lua

Lua Code:

local _, ns = ...
print(ns["player"].name) -- It works!
ns["player"].name = "Wrynn" -- It also works!
ns["player"].class = "WARRIOR" -- It doesn't work. It fires nil value error

exp2.lua can access and edit the value that was already defined in exp1.lua.
but exp2.lua can't define a new variable into the table 'ns'

Other addons can do this like It was nothing. so I don't know what are the problems with my codes...

Without your actual not working code it's difficult to guess.
Perhaps the value you try to store is not yet available at the time you try to store it. Delay it until player enters the world event.

You need to create the "player" entry as a table

Lua Code:

local _, ns = ...
ns["player"] = {}
ns["player"].name = UnitName("player")

Then in exp2.lua

Lua Code:

ns["player"].class = "WARRIOR"

You can also get rid of the [""]

Lua Code:

ns.player = {}
ns.player.name = UnitName("player")

Then again, I could be about to learn something new.

Show your actual code, not this hypothetical nonsense where you missed the part that causes your problems.
