Can I create a sub-module inside a module?

Question

I have modules with inter-dependencies, such as

• MyVendor_MyModule1: Account

• MyVendor_MyModule2: Account

• MyVendor_MyModule1: Auth

• MyVendor_MyModule2: Auth

• MyVendor_MyModule1: Config

• MyVendor_MyModule2: Config

Accountnamespace contains common code for both MyModule1 and MyModule2.

Currently, I am having a duplicate code in both modules.

I want to make Account an independent module to reduce the code duplicacy.

How shall I move forward without messing with namespaces?

Edt:

To be exact: My current scenario is \Cj\Amazon is 1 module. I am planning to break it into two modules, i.e. Cj\Amazon\Importer and \Cj\Amazon\Integration.

Both uses the same authentication which is Cj\Amazon\Auth. But in Magento, we are restricted to use Vendor\Module pattern.

Is there any way two have multi modules with same namespaces i.e in \Cj\Amazon\ ?

Answer 1

You can create class Account in the MyVendor_MyModule1 and then extend from it in the MyVendor_MyModule2: Account.

for example

<?php
   namespace MyVendor\MyModule1;

   class Account 
   {
      public function someMethod() {}
   }


   namespace MyVendor\MyModule2;

   use MyVendor\MyModule1\Account as FirstAccount;

   class Account extends FirstAccount;
   {
      public function someMethod2() {}
   }
