Modules

Overview

Modules are collections of related nodes. Modules exist primarily as a convenient way to organize nodes and also help avoid name collisions.

Creating a Module

Modules are created by calling ModuleRegistry::RegisterModule(name). Once a module is registered, any number of nodes may be added to it.

A number of examples can be seen in the src/modules directory. Here is a typical example of the process of registering a Module as well as the nodes that go with it:

void InitializeStringModule(ModuleRegistry* module_registry) {
  Module* module = module_registry->RegisterModule("string");
  module->RegisterNode<EqualsNode>("equals");
  module->RegisterNode<IntToStringNode>("int_to_string");
  module->RegisterNode<FloatToStringNode>("float_to_string");
  module->RegisterNode<ConcatNode>("concat");
}
