How to include types from the main module in other files from the same crate?

Question

I'm writing a Rust library called my_new_lib and have the following file structure:

├── my_new_lib
    ├── src
        ├── lib.rs
        └── file1.rs
    ├── tests

In lib.rs I defined a struct:

/// content of lib.rs

pub struct my_struct {}

In file1.rs I want to use my_struct, for example:

/// content of file1.rs

use ????

pub struct my_second_struct {
    member1: my_struct
}

what should I put in the use clause in file1.rs to make it work?

You must use the crate keyword to access to the root of your crate:

use crate::MyStruct;
