API={}
API.PORTIONS={
	BUY=function(X)
		print("BUYING",X)
	end,
	PLAYEROWNS=function(Y)
		print("PLAYER OWNS",Y)
	end,
}
API

so i am playing around the module script and I need help to do

API.PORTIONS:BUY(X)
--instead of
API.PORTIONS.BUY(X)

I want to add the function inside the table so that it is easy to manage.
which means I don’t want to add function like

function API.PORTIONS:BUY(X)
--i don't want this
end

please help As soon as possible…

#2 
local module = {
	
	fun=function() end,
}
return module
