get access to ~/Music directory

[muted jolt]

hi i am trying to write a rust music app as a complete noob i try to read different docs online but i am at a stop on this code
the play audio path is not found as it is also in src the code in it looks like this (second image)
plz be gentle even if i think my code looks like garbage

the play_audio file i found online and i hope i can make it work with this code

thx for any help

[violet silo]

you aren't declaring any modules

[muted jolt]

the //mod play_audio i experimented with ?
i will do search about how to declare thks

[violet silo]

yes
mod is what allows you to use multiple code files in the same crate

[muted jolt]

then it tells me play_auido(&path) is not a fonction

[violet silo]

because you're trying to call a module
when you want the function inside that module

[muted jolt]

so i need to use pub ? if i get that right ?

[violet silo]

if you want an item to be visible in parent modules, it needs to be pub

[muted jolt]

like this ?

[violet silo]

maybe
is this a second mod play_audio inside of the other mod play_audio?

[muted jolt]

yeah xd i was going to say this feeled wrong xd

[violet silo]

-modules

modules aren't functions

[muted jolt]

no in the file named play_audio the fonction is also named play_audio i tried to call it with this code

rn i am reading from the url this gentlemen sent me

if i am not mistaken this time the 2 directories are linked i just need to call the fonction now ?

[violet silo]

don't do that

just do mod play_audio;

[muted jolt]

thats how its doc told me to do?

i will do just mod play_audio; as suggested

[violet silo]

// note: this is NOT idiomatic rust, we're just learning
// about mod.

[muted jolt]

is my english making me idiot because i didn't understand it wasn't a way of accomplishing the same result ?

[violet silo]

it's a strictly worse way of accomplishing the same result

[muted jolt]

but the play audio is still inacessible

nah sorry it say not a fonction

[violet silo]

because modules still aren't functions
modules contain functions

[muted jolt]

yeah i need to call it

[fluid fog]

You do not put prints inside a module.
You put prints in functions, and put functions in modules.

[muted jolt]

yeah i was mistaken as some tuto told me do it like that and to add a fonction under pub mod

[muted jolt]

if i understand now here
(transposing on my files)
math is my file named play_audio.rs
and add is my fonction play_audio

[violet silo]

sure
having a function named the same as the module might not be a good idea though

[muted jolt]

yeah i was arriving at that because after the docs say

to call the fonction

but it said the fonction is private

looking it up rn

[violet silo]

then make that function not private

[fluid fog]

Change fn play_audio to pub fn play_audio

[muted jolt]

@fluid fog thats what i tried but we went for another way

[fluid fog]

I'm confused. What "another way"?

[muted jolt]

i added pub to my play_audio file and now it dont say to be private

but i think i missed something in docs so i will continue reading before anything

[muted jolt]

just
mod play_audio;

[violet silo]

that has nothing to do with the visibility of the functions in the module

[muted jolt]

i mean pub before my fonction in play_audio.rs

like it is on rust lang.org

pub before a fonction make it public to the root

[muted jolt]

i just read again our discussion xd
no mod play_audio; was to make the module discoverable to main.rs
