I’m developing a package which defines a number of types. Some types are helpers and some are specific implementations (parametric or abstract) of other types from this package. I’ve been poking around popular packages to see how they might handle this. I’ve seen different styles. I’m all about …

Perhaps I am misunderstanding, but I don’t see defining dozens of modules within a package as a problem ( FinEtools ). See FinEtools.jl, which groups multiple modules under one umbrella.

I didn’t intend to say it’s a problem, just a not known solution to me and a quick peek around didn’t satisfy me. Julia provides lots of building blocks and it’s still young, so I didn’t doubt there were good solutions possible. FinEtools organization looks great. I was messing around a bit and s…

Maybe this could be of use https://github.com/simonster/Reexport.jl ?

Alright I messed around with the idea of emulating the C/C++ convention. In C/C++ you would #include everything in a tree-like manner. Which is nice because it typically would mirror how the files are laid out on disk, and if you are doing OOP mirrors your inheritance relationships. Then you use …

I edited my macro to return an Expr rather than eval directly. Not exactly sure why :toplevel is needed, but it is.

Hope you don’t mind me reviving this old discussion thread. I thought it was interesting since I am also an old C++ developer. I personally feel that thinking about Julia’s include as C/C++ include will typically just get you into trouble. In C/C++ to actually use some chunk of code you need to in…

[image] Erik_Engheim: I think a more sensible Julia approach is to simply make multiple separate packages that depend on each other. Yes this is what I’ve ended up doing. There are a few things that could be done to make this kind of granularity easier to work with. It’s a minor annoyance …

[image] Orbots: 3 day waiting period for each that will take 12 days minimum For packages intended (mainly) for your own use, you could consider maintaining your own registry where you pretty much do what you like (search the forum for discussions).

Another revive… by another C++ developer. Let’s consider the Julia code editors. If there is no include, just “using …”, the IDE has to look in the entire project in order to give you autocompletion for a specific module, struct etc. with @Orbots ’s solution, the IDEs would be able to provide auto…

I think this is the same issue discussed in [ANN] PatModules.jl: a better module system for Julia - #38 by patrick-kidger.
