Hello, I am new to julia and I struggling with understanding how modules work. As far as I know include just copy-pastes code into the current file. I have a PointModule that does has a struct and a distance function. It’s here just for demonstration purposes. module PointModule export Point,di…

I have only used Revise.jl in the REPL (without an IDE), in this case I do run import Revise; Revise.includet("main.jl") directly in the REPL, and then run start making calls testing the code provided by main.jl. If I go and change something in main.jl or something it includes and then go back to th…

Hi @nickk2002 and welcome to the forum! That’s exactly how include works, as far as I know. There is just one more level of nested modules in your example: PointModule is available within the module MainCode, but you don’t export the name to the “global” module at the top. So one of these should w…

[image] Sevi: export PointModule Hi @Sevi . I modified the code as you said and it works! So this means the PointModule is now a nested module? It seems a bit counter intuitive because PointModule should be standalone and not depend on MainCode I would want to ask if there is a way for the M…

I just call it “nested” module, but in the end, the issue is just how to get the names of objects and where you can “see” which names (modules are also just objects and they have a name). So if you have module A module B x = 10 end end then within A, but outside of B you cannot use* the nam…

[image] nickk2002: It seems a bit counter intuitive because PointModule should be standalone and not depend on MainCode If you feel like the functionality of PointModule should not depend on MainModule then you should probably include the code directly where you want to use the point code. I…

Note that you will have fewer problems if you just do: # points.jl file struct Point{T} x::T y::T end distance(x::Point) = 10 and # MainModule.jl module MainModule export Point, distance include("points.jl") distance(Point(1,2)) end that is, if instead of modules, you just i…

You may also like FromFile.jl , which is an alternate (IMO imprived) import system for Julia.

It is includet with a t. This is how I do it: Development workflow · JuliaNotes.jl If your modules can be used independently, consider making each of them a package, then you can dev the packages with Revise and all changed will be tracked. Making them packages is nothing very complicated ( Create …
