Defining Modules to Control Scope and Privacy
In this section, we’ll talk about modules and other parts of the module system, namely paths that allow you to name items; theuse
keyword that brings a path into scope; and the pub
keyword to make items public. We’ll also discuss the as
keyword, external packages, and the glob operator. For now, let’s focus on modulesModules let us organize code within a crate into groups for readability and easy reuse. Modules also control the privacy of items, which is whether an item can be used by outside code (public) or is an internal implementation detail and not available for outside use (private)
As an example, let’s write a library crate that provides the functionality of a restaurant
In the restaurant industry, some parts of a restaurant are referred to as front of house and others as back of house. Front of house is where customers are; this is where hosts seat customers, servers take orders and payment, and bartenders make drinks. Back of house is where the chefs and cooks work in the kitchen, dishwashers clean up, and managers do administrative work.
Create a new library named
restaurant
by running cargo new --lib restaurant
Filename: src/lib.rs
mod front_of_house {
mod hosting {
fn add_to_waitlist() {}
fn seat_at_table() {}
}
mod serving {
fn take_order() {}
fn serve_order() {}
fn take_payment() {}
}
}
mod hosting {
fn add_to_waitlist() {}
fn seat_at_table() {}
}
mod serving {
fn take_order() {}
fn serve_order() {}
fn take_payment() {}
}
}
