Elixir by Example: Modules

Modules

Modules are collections of functions grouped together,
under some name.













We call a module's function like so:



defmodule MyModule do
  @doc "Print hello to the screen"
  def hello do
    IO.puts("Hello, world!")
  end

  @doc "Print goodbye to the screen"
  def bye do
    IO.puts("Goodbye!")
  end
end


MyModule.hello()
MyModule.bye()

$ elixir modules.exs
Hello, world!
Goodbye!
