Why can't I import my macro under another crates

[jameszow]

I have a total of three crates, one of which is used to make macros, the other is the core crate, and there is a test crate

example
mybatis
mybatis-macro

#[macro_use]
use mybatis;

use mybatis::{CRUDTable, crud_table};
use mybatis::{crud::CRUD};
use mybatis::mybatis_sql::string_util::to_snake_name;
use mybatis::mybatis::Mybatis;
use mybatis::snowflake::SNOWFLAKE;
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[crud_table]
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Pets {
    pub id: Option<String>,
    pub name: Option<String>,
    pub birthday: Option<mybatis::DateTimeNative>,
    pub delete_flag: Option<i32>,
}

error:

failed to resolve: could not find `core` in `mybatis`
could not find `core` in `mybatis`rustcE0433
failed to resolve: could not find `core` in `mybatis`(E0433)

#[macro_use] only has an effect on extern crate and modules?

[jameszow]

However, the "external crate" add-on must be located in the crate root directory. What if there are multiple creates lib

[jjpe]

#[macro_use] and #[macro_export] are only used for macro_rules macros, and the existence of your mybatis-macro crate suggests that that is a proc-macro.

If it is indeed a proc-macro you can just import it as any other item.

yes, mybatis-macro crate Cargo.toml file:

[package]
name = "mybatis-macro"

description = "mybatis macro driver"

I have to think it over, but you did remind me. Thank you very much
