Summary

Using Local Modules is a convenient and quick way to get custom modules working, and they are very good for prototyping. Custom modules need to be managed as we continue to develop and extend them. By understanding Niagara’s versioning system, we can ensure that the custom modules and systems remain compatible with future updates to the framework. This can help minimize the risk of errors and unexpected behavior when upgrading to new versions of the modules.

In this chapter, we saw a different type of custom module called Local Module. We saw how to use the versioning system in Niagara to keep track of new versions of modules. In the next chapter, we will learn about Events and Event Handlers, which let different emitters in a particle system pass information between them.
