Hey all! What is the recommended approach to "group modules"? For example: I have a root package called feed and two subpackage called list and details - I wanted to have one module per package and include the two in the root one (feed). Right now, looks like you need to create them separated and introduce a "list" grouping them. Is that correct?

FYI, I wrote a proposal on Koin repository on how I think it should look. 😬

For now, you can group them with the + operator. This allow to regroup it logically as a list. What you propose is that this groups directly as a Module in fact?

[Marcello Galhardo]

Yes, exactly. Right now I’m using the + operator but each “Gradle Module” has to expose a list with all their content. And in the end I group all list into a single list (featureModuleCollection)

In my limited understand, allowing a module to “include” other module would completely hide from “outside” it is a list and the API would motivate people to create smaller modules.

Sometimes I see developers simple putting everything in a single module to avoid creating lists of lists. :-(

I see, like including other module’s definition and avoid having list of stuff 🤔

great, thanls for your proposal 👍
