Chigraph code is organized into what’s called a “workspace”. If you’ve ever written anything in golang, it’s similar (actually inspired by that).

The purpose of a workspace is to hold a hiearchy of modules to be used to compile chigraph programs. Your workspace should contain all chigraph modules that are dependencies for what you are building.

Basic structure

This is a small sample of the test workspace (located in test/codegen/workspace)

.
├── .chigraphworkspace # empty file denoting the root of the workspace
├── lib # holds cached compiled .bc files for your modules
└── src # holds chigraph modules
    ├── addint # folder containing modules for easier organization
    │   └── main.chimod # a main module, meaning an executable
    ├── intermodule
    │   ├── main.chimod
    │   └── printer.chimod # a library module
    └── intprinter.chimod # another library module

Modules are named by the path to their .chimod file from the src folder. For example, the printer.chimod file would have the name of intermodule/printer, and the intpritner.chimod module would have the name intprinter. This is what you would enter as a dependency.
