Hi A newbie here, from OOP background. I am looking to put together a project which will: Download data from Internet Do some manipulations on the downloaded data Do some analysis on the downloaded data Please note the downloader, analysis would be reused across other projects as well. I have b…

See many previous discussions: Pros & Cons of using modules vs plain include? and Single module vs. submodules in a project and Large programs: structuring modules & include such that to increase performance and readability and What is the preferred way to use multiple files? TLDR: Start with a sin…

OP wants to download and analyze some data. What is the benefit of using a module here? Modules make it harder to selectively execute code. For example, given module M x = download() # I want to explore here. # ... y = runmodel(x) end If I want to explore the data interactively without running r…

[image] jzr: OP wants to download and analyze some data. What is the benefit of using a module here? Presumably, they want to do a similar analysis more than once — if @roh_codeur is asking about large-scale code organization, they must not be talking about a one-time throwaway script. If th…

[image] stevengj: Presumably, they want to do a similar analysis more than once — if @roh_codeur is asking about large-scale code organization, they must not be talking about a one-time throwaway script. If they have a non-trivial amount of code, separating it in a package makes it easier to re-…

If you can get the book Hands-On Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia , it might have many answers to what you are asking.

Another part of the problem described by the OP is the organization of code, data, workflows, etc. For that I would also recommend taking a look into Dr Watson: https://github.com/JuliaDynamics/DrWatson.jl

In addition to :+1: I’d like to mention that you can now buy the pdf for 5 € ( Hands-On Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia | Packt ) [campaign expired]. Well worth the time imo (maybe quickly skim through the initial design pattern stuff but concentrate on the “Section 2: Julia Fundamentals…

thanks to everyone who pitched in, this is quite useful indeed. So far, I have come up with the below: my-types.jl Base.@kwdef struct SomeType field1::String end my-utils.jl using DataFrames function someFunc(someType::SomeType) println("using sometypess $someType") df = DataFrame()…

While looking through the documentation, I found the below link. I feel this answers most of the queries, except the one about performance, i.e. performance benefits of one module with include of multiple files vs multiple modules. https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/code-loading/ I will post …

I have posted my findings in this thread. For someone ending up here, Option (2) seems to be a better option. [image] Multiple Julia processes while using Modules General Usage Hi Following my discussion from the below thread, I have been trying out 2 approaches to evalu…

[image] roh_codeur: baseDir = @__DIR__ @info "Starting in $baseDir" cd(baseDir) push!(LOAD_PATH, pwd()) I know this is a 3 year old thread, but why are you doing these things? This looks to me like the weird hackery people sometimes do in Python with PYTHON_PATH, something which you should n…
