      really love the cheatsheet! is there any chance a v2 is planned (simply a bit more readable / good looking / maybe dark themed?)
      Thanks for your videos! loving it

    Honestly speaking this is probably the single most confusing aspect of Rust I faced, much more so than the whole ownership thing. I think it might be down to how little attention it was given in various Rust learning resources (Rust Book in particular). It took me several months of scratching my head and smushing my face into the screen, combined with extensive experimenting on my personal projects for me to fully understand the whole system, and you sir managed to do it under 20 minutes. God damn. Mad respect.

    I have read many blogs before getting the gist of the module system of rust. Actually the only thing I needed was this video lol

  • @ChumX100
    @ChumX100 3 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    It's nice that you've kept the format of videos on fundamentals similar to your coverage of the rust book, it's like having an extended version!

  • @shirazbabar8892
    @shirazbabar8892 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Oh, man, you saved me! I was about to give up and head back home because I was overwhelmed by the complexity of these modules. But then I stumbled upon you, and now I feel like I'm back in a playground, ready to tackle anything

  • @scott3489
    @scott3489 3 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    Excellent video! Really appreciate how you broke this down.

  • @michaelkastner3611
    @michaelkastner3611 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This is by far the best explanation of Rust module system I've seen (or read) so far. Very thoroughly explained. I've reentered the Rust orbit after almost two years again and had forgotten about the intricacies of the Rust module concept in the mean time. Now I feel like I am back on track again. This video is pure gold. Thanks!

  • @stevemccauley
    @stevemccauley 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A great video, that's cleared the a major point of confusion up for me. It's like 'use' has been overridden, like 'static' in C - for external module use, it's 'importing' and 'simplifying' external crate components, whereas for local modules it's merely 'simplifying' part of the local module. So subtly different actions, but with the same name. You've clarified that for me, so thanks!

  • @nilshaberstroh2705
    @nilshaberstroh2705 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I've googled "ho to use modules in Rust" so so many time. It is a pleasure to see such a useful, straight forward explanation on that topic.
    loop { 👍}

  • @naughtrussel5787
    @naughtrussel5787 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Yeah, the modules did confuse me a lot. During this video I was thinking: "Oh, okay, now I finally get it. How great he explains it so clear." and then I remember that the video is actually called "Explained Like I'm 5". Now I feel I have to study programming as if I was five :-D

  • @emcell2
    @emcell2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    God, thank you. I was so confused about modules. Having read dozens of documents about this topic getting even more confused. Now everything makes sense.

  • @hilsonalexandrejuniorwojci9028
    @hilsonalexandrejuniorwojci9028 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you. I
    think that this video is much more informative than the module episode of the rust book series and the chapter of the rust book itself!!
    I was bugged thinking about a module not "export itself" but being declared in the parent module

  • @seyeakintunde8225
    @seyeakintunde8225 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I was reading Chapter 7 of the Rust Book and found the example a little confusing so I searched for an alternative source of information abuot modules in Rust. This was just what I needed. Thank a lot Rusty!!!

  • @mingyuchoo

  • @errons1
    @errons1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Many might already have said this, but this was the achilles heel of my rust experience so far...
    Thank you very much for making this video!

  • @DipsAndPushups
    @DipsAndPushups 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is the best explanation that I have found so far. Rust modules were a little bit confusing because they work differently from how organisation of code world in other languages.

  • @cmkjfnve
    @cmkjfnve 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    👍Great job! I'd like to learn more about benchmarking/profiling of Rust code. Another thing that is confusing is why we need to write anon lifetime specifier _ (underline) . I see it in very often in trait/struct decl/def.

    Hi! Please include this video in the let's get rusty tutorial series. It's really helpful in visualizing the module system, especially the refactoring approach you took. And exploring the 2018 pattern (came across this in the wild and I was quite confused )

  • @drlytwatcher2646
    @drlytwatcher2646 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really well described! I'd love if you could make a video about async/await as well as how it differs from its implementation in more popular languages like Javascript. This topic has always been tricky to wrap my head around. I think a lot of viewers would benefit from a solid explanation LGR style :)

    Nice video! Now I finally understand the Rust modules and project structure. As there are 2 approaches mentioned in this video to struct the modules and project files, may I know which one approach is more popular or is most used in the practice? Thanks a lot!

  • @RakavyYuval
    @RakavyYuval 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    It would be nice if you cover cross development and debugging for the Raspberry Pi
    and it would also be nice to cover using Rust for embedded systems (no runtime), for example on Arduino.

    It seems in 2023, you need to run " cargo modules --with-types --with-fns " to get the same output as shown in the video.
    Went on a detour trying to see why my output differed and that was the result.

    So the only things crate consumers can use from a crate are items in the crate module marked pub? The items marked pub in sub-modules are only pub for the crate module, and need to be explicitly "re-pub'd" from the crate module to also be made available to the crate consumer?

    If you try this today, you need to install cargo-modules using this command: cargo install cargo-modules --locked. It won't work any other way. It needs to install a million things and some of those things don't play nice together dependency wise.
    Also, the command to use to generate the try with types is now: cargo modules generate tree --types, The author(s) of cargo-modules have seemingly introduced several feature breaking changes on top of creating the dependancy nightmare that makes dll hell pale in comparison.

      It did install for me without appending the --locked flag, but the subcommands are totally different

  • @ClearerThanMud

    Nice job. In IntelliJ I find it convenient to just create modules in line and then tell IntelliJ to turn them into separate files.

  • @glener1000
    @glener1000 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In my project, when I added more folder branches within 'src', the local code worked normally (build, fmt, test). But when I executed the same in the CI/CD process, it was as if I couldn't find the imports in that format...

    I kinda stuck on a problem where I can't make traits use the pub keyword when they are inside a module (so kinda want to use inheritance as to what i have learned in php). Like the animal human example in rust where traits are implemented. But seems like my approach is kinda wrong. I happen to watch the video about builder pattern and it seems pretty much "fixed" my problem. It pretty much avoid you of having creating a struct that only one value is different but almost have the same methods.
