Is there a way to export ALL the symbols declared in a module? Just to avoid writing them all under export.

I would prefix the module name before the functions you are using when developing (or do something like const m = MyPackage and use m.f(). For improved workflow, I would look at https://github.com/timholy/Revise.jl

Julz has a function for exporting all vars (that were included using the package) Maybe you can do something like this: https://github.com/djsegal/Julz.jl/blob/master/src/macros/export_all_files.jl

A practice which I like but I see others employ only rarely is putting export statements immediately following definitions like so f(x::AbstractFloat) = # do some stuff function f(x::Complex{<:AbstractFloat}) # do some other stuff end export f I agree that creating an exportall keyword would b…

[image] djsegal: macro export_all_files(cur_item) all_files = get_all_files(eval(cur_item)) cur_expression = quote end for file in all_files exported_object = Symbol("(file)") cur_block = quote export (esc(exported_object)) end append!(cur_expression.args, cur_block.args) end c…

That does seem good for readability while the code is being written, but I wonder if it will become more difficult for other people (or a future you) to understand what the code does. Looking at a list of exports is one of the ways that I typically start to understand a new package. I think I might…

I haven’t particularly found reading the export lists useful without a good handle on what the functions actually do. Sometimes having argument types is enough for this, but the names alone usually aren’t (for me at least). Granted, it does make it easy to lose track of which functions are being e…

Yea, I felt like exportall was a little dodgy (so I scoped it on files for Julz). I believe the following code does exactly what you want // at least it did in v0.5 https://github.com/djsegal/julz_legacy/blob/master/app/templates/config/export_all_except.jl

The following simple snippet seems to work: module Foo foo(x) = x+1 bar(x) = x-1 # exportall: for n in names(current_module(), true) if Base.isidentifier(n) && n ∉ (Symbol(current_module()), :eval) @eval export $n end …
