We do not recommend writing modules that are just thin wrappers around single other resource types. If you have trouble finding a name for your module that isn't the same as the main resource type inside it, that may be a sign that your module is not creating any new abstraction and so the module is adding unnecessary complexity. Just use the resource type directly in the calling module instead. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01hbwfqyk5dhae8a7qfem4x1b6))
