## Using existing modules

The module files hosted in this repository define a set of processes for software tools such as `fastqc`, `bwa`, `samtools` etc. This allows you to share and add common functionality across multiple pipelines in a modular fashion.

We have written a helper command in the `nf-core/tools` package that uses the GitHub API to obtain the relevant information for the module files present in the [`modules/`](modules/) directory of this repository. This includes using `git` commit hashes to track changes for reproducibility purposes, and to download and install all of the relevant module files.

1. Install the latest version of [`nf-core/tools`](https://github.com/nf-core/tools#installation) (`>=2.0`)
2. List the available modules:

```console
$ nf-core modules list remote

                                      ,--./,-.
      ___     __   __   __   ___     /,-._.--~\
|\ | |__  __ /  ` /  \ |__) |__         }  {
| \| |       \__, \__/ |  \ |___     \`-._,-`-,
                                      `._,._,'

nf-core/tools version 2.0

INFO     Modules available from nf-core/modules (master):                       pipeline_modules.py:164

│ bcftools/isec                  │
..truncated..
```

3. Install the module in your pipeline directory:

```console
$ nf-core modules install fastqc

                                      ,--./,-.
      ___     __   __   __   ___     /,-._.--~\
|\ | |__  __ /  ` /  \ |__) |__         }  {
| \| |       \__, \__/ |  \ |___     \`-._,-`-,
                                      `._,._,'

nf-core/tools version 2.0

INFO     Installing fastqc                                                      pipeline_modules.py:213
INFO     Downloaded 3 files to ./modules/nf-core/modules/fastqc                 pipeline_modules.py:236
```

4. Import the module in your Nextflow script:

```nextflow
#!/usr/bin/env nextflow

nextflow.enable.dsl = 2

include { FASTQC } from './modules/nf-core/modules/fastqc/main'
```

5. Remove the module from the pipeline repository if required:

```console
$ nf-core modules remove fastqc

                                      ,--./,-.
      ___     __   __   __   ___     /,-._.--~\
|\ | |__  __ /  ` /  \ |__) |__         }  {
| \| |       \__, \__/ |  \ |___     \`-._,-`-,
                                      `._,._,'

nf-core/tools version 2.0

INFO     Removing fastqc                                                        pipeline_modules.py:271
INFO     Successfully removed fastqc                                            pipeline_modules.py:285
```

6. Check that a locally installed nf-core module is up-to-date compared to the one hosted in this repo:

```console
$ nf-core modules lint fastqc

                                      ,--./,-.
      ___     __   __   __   ___     /,-._.--~\
|\ | |__  __ /  ` /  \ |__) |__         }  {
| \| |       \__, \__/ |  \ |___     \`-._,-`-,
                                      `._,._,'

nf-core/tools version 2.0

## Adding new modules

If you wish to contribute a new module, please see the documentation on the [nf-core website](https://nf-co.re/developers/modules#writing-a-new-module-reference).

> Please be kind to our code reviewers and submit one pull request per module :)

## Help

For further information or help, don't hesitate to get in touch on [Slack `#modules` channel](https://nfcore.slack.com/channels/modules) (you can join with [this invite](https://nf-co.re/join/slack)).

## Citation

If you use the module files in this repository for your analysis please you can cite the `nf-core` publication as follows:

### Offline usage

If you want to use an existing module file available in `nf-core/modules`, and you're running on a system that has no internet connection, you'll need to download the repository (e.g. `git clone https://github.com/nf-core/modules.git`) and place it in a location that is visible to the file system on which you are running the pipeline. Then run the pipeline by creating a custom config file called e.g. `custom_module.conf` containing the following information:

```bash
include /path/to/downloaded/modules/directory/
```

Then you can run the pipeline by directly passing the additional config file with the `-c` parameter:

```bash
nextflow run /path/to/pipeline/ -c /path/to/custom_module.conf
```

> Note that the nf-core/tools helper package has a `download` command to download all required pipeline
> files + singularity containers + institutional configs + modules in one go for you, to make this process easier.

# New test data created for the module- sequenzautils/bam2seqz
The new test data is an output from another module- sequenzautils/bcwiggle- (which uses sarscov2 genome fasta file as an input).
