Modüller

We have seen how impl blocks let us namespace functions to a type.

Similarly, mod lets us namespace types and functions:

mod foo {
    pub fn do_something() {
        println!("In the foo module");
    }
}

mod bar {
    pub fn do_something() {
        println!("In the bar module");
    }
}

fn main() {
    foo::do_something();
    bar::do_something();
}

  • Packages provide functionality and include a Cargo.toml file that describes how to build a bundle of 1+ crates.
  • Crates are a tree of modules, where a binary crate creates an executable and a library crate compiles to a library.
  • Modules define organization, scope, and are the focus of this section.
