The Nextflow [`include`](https://www.nextflow.io/docs/edge/dsl2.html#modules-include) statement can be used within your pipelines in order to load module files that you have available locally.
You should be able to get a good idea as to how other people are using module files by looking at pipelines available in nf-core e.g. [`nf-core/rnaseq`](https://github.com/nf-core/rnaseq/pull/162)

## Adding a new module file
If you decide to upload your module file to `nf-core/modules` then this will ensure that it will be automatically downloaded, and available at run-time to all nf-core pipelines, and to everyone within the Nextflow community! See [`nf-core/modules/nf`](https://github.com/nf-core/modules/tree/master/nf) for examples.

See [`nf-core/modules/software`](https://github.com/nf-core/modules/tree/master/software) for examples.
The definition and standards for module files are still under discussion amongst the community.
Currently the following points have been agreed on:
- Module file should only define inputs/outputs as parameters and have the ability to use `params.MODULENAME_options` as an additional parameter to add any additional settings via pipelines.
- Specify single-end boolean values within the input channel and not be inferred from the data e.g. [here](https://github.com/nf-core/tools/blob/028a9b3f9d1ad044e879a1de13d3c3a25a06b9a7/nf_core/pipeline-template/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.name_noslash%7D%7D/modules/nf-core/fastqc.nf#L13)
- Define threads or resources where required for a particular process using `task.cpus`
- Software that can be piped together should be added to separate module files unless there is an run-time, storage advantage in implementing in this way e.g. `bwa mem | samtools view` to output BAM instead of SAM
- Process names should be all uppercase

- The `publishDirMode` should be configurable
- Test data is stored within this repo. Re-use generic files from `tests/data` by
symlinking them into the test directory of the module. Add specific files
to the test-directory directly. Keep test files as tiny as possible.

- Software requirements should be declared in a conda `environment.yml` file,
including exact version numbers. Additionally, there should be a `Dockerfile`
that containerizes the environment.
- Each process should emit a file `TOOL.version.txt` containing a single line
with the software's version in the format `vX.X.X`.

### Uploading to `nf-core/modules`
[Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) the `nf-core/modules` repository to your own GitHub account. Within the local clone of your fork add the module file to the [`nf-core/modules/nf`](https://github.com/nf-core/modules/tree/master/nf) directory. Please keep the naming consistent between the module and documentation files e.g. `bwa.nf` and `bwa.md`, respectively.
