Module
A DocType will always belong to a module, to enable easier grouping of related models. Frappe comes with a lot of built-in modules. For e.g
- Core - contains doctypes like DocType, DocField, Report, System Settings, etc
- Desk - contains doctypes like ToDo, Event, Note, Kanban Board, etc
- Email - contains doctypes like Email Account, Newsletter, Email Group, etc
Modules also helps in grouping of code files in directories. The controller files generated by a DocType will live in it's respective Module directory.
