external
、または、"FFI" (foreign function interface)、単に "interop"(相互運用性のための)は、Reason が他言語(C や JavaScript など)と通信する手段です。
Imagine writing a let binding, but with its body omitted and its (mandatory) type written down:
external myCFunction: int => string = "theCFunction";
Note: external
s can only be at the top level, or inside a module definition. You can't declare them in e.g. a function body.
使い方
You'd use an external value/function as if it was a normal let binding.
