I am currently replacing some String arguments of my mutable structure with dedicated types instead.
The following MWE works perfectly fine:
module MyPackage
### Some code
module Options
module SolveMod
struct Both end # public interface
struct BranchBendersCut end # public interface
## Some other options...
const USolveMod = Union{Both,BranchBendersCut} # not part of the public interface
export USolveMod
end
module SPSolve
struct Poly end # public interface
struct LP end # public interface
const USPSolve = Union{Poly,LP} # not part of the public interface
export USPSolve
end
export SolveMod, SPSolve
end
using .Options: SolveMod.USolveMod, SPSolve.USPSolve
using Parameters
@with_kw mutable struct OptimizeParameters @deftype String
solve_mod::USolveMod
sp_solve::USPSolve
end
end
In my non MWE-case, I have 7 (out of 32) parameters for my solver that need a dedicated type, instead of two in the MWE (SolveMod and SPSolve). So I was wondering if I could write something like:
using .Options: All
Instead of using .Options: SolveMod.USolveMod, SPSolve.USPSolve 3rdClass.Uniontype, 4thClass.Uniontype (etc.)

You could export all of them in options, and a user could import .Options
in case they don’t want all of them.
(In principle one could even export via a for loop, but doing it explicitly might be clearer.)
Thank you for your reply
Am I not already exporting all of them?
cf. line:
export SolveMod, SPSolve, WriteResults # etc. other types
I am not sure I understand what you suggest
I have modified my MWE, because I forgot to mention that module Options
is within module MyPackage
.
Also, I tried to use:
import .Options
instead of
using .Options: SolveMod.USolveMod, SPSolve.USPSolve
as suggested in your reply but then USolveMod
becomes undefined.
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: `USolveMod` not defined
Anyway, I just remarked that it is not so a big deal to write all the 7 modules by hand ![:laughing: :laughing:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/laughing.png?v=12)

Okay! I found it all
I indeed had to export everything
module MyPackage
module Options
module SolveMod
struct Both end # public interface
struct BranchBendersCut end # public interface
struct ILP end # public interface
struct NoOptimize end # public interface
struct gF end # public interface
struct gFexploreonlyILP end # public interface
struct gFexploreonlyben end # public interface
const USolveMod = Union{Both,BranchBendersCut,ILP,NoOptimize,gF,gFexploreonlyILP,gFexploreonlyben} # not part of the public interface
export Both, BranchBendersCut, ILP, NoOptimize, gF, gFexploreonlyILP, gFexploreonlyben, USolveMod
end
using .SolveMod
module SPSolve
struct Poly end # public interface
struct LP end # public interface
const USPSolve = Union{Poly,LP} # not part of the public interface
export Poly, LP, USPSolve
end
using .SPSolve
module WResults
struct WHTML end # public interface
struct WLocal end # public interface
const UWriteResults = Union{WHTML,WLocal,Bool} # not part of the public interface
export WHTML, WLocal, UWriteResults
end
using .WResults
export SolveMod, SPSolve, WResults, Both, BranchBendersCut, ILP, NoOptimize, gF, gFexploreonlyILP, gFexploreonlyben, USolveMod, Poly, LP, USPSolve, WHTML, WLocal, UWriteResults
end
end
using .Options
Now it works like a charm, thanks ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)

It looks like this could be a usecase for the Reexport package.
