Modules

Simply put, modules in Odra let you reuse your code between contracts or even projects. Every contract you write is also a module, thanks to a macro #[odra::module]. This means that we can easily rewrite our math example from the previous article, to use a single contract, but still separate our "math" code:

examples/src/features/modules.rs
use crate::features::cross_calls::MathEngine;

#[odra::module]
pub struct ModulesContract {
pub math_engine: MathEngine,
}

#[odra::module]
impl ModulesContract {
pub fn add_using_module(&self) -> u32 {
self.math_engine.add(3, 5)
}
}

Note that we didn't need to rewrite the MathEngine - we are using the contract from cross calls example as a module!

info

To see how modules can be used in a real-world scenario, check out the ERC20 example in the main odra repository!

Testing

As we don't need to hold addresses, the test is really simple:

examples/src/features/modules.rs
use super::ModulesContractDeployer;

#[test]
fn test_modules() {
let modules_contract = ModulesContractDeployer::default();
assert_eq!(modules_contract.add_using_module(), 8);
}

What's next

We will see how to handle native token transfers.
