Hands-On Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia

Organizing sub-modules

There are generally two patterns for organizing sub-module files. Let's take a look at each:

• The first one involves a simpler situation where each sub-module is fully contained in a single source file, as follows:

module MyPackageinclude("sub_module1.jl")include("sub_module2.jl")include("sub_module3.jl")end

• The second one involves larger sub-modules where there could be several source files for each sub-module. In that case, the source code of a sub-module resides in a subdirectory:

# MyPackage.jlmodule MyPackageinclude("sub_module1/sub_module1.jl")include("sub_module2/sub_module2.jl")include("sub_module3.jl")end

• Of course, the sub module's directory may include multiple files. In the preceding example, sub_module1 ...
