Differences would be minimal with regard to how the server handles it -
on my end however, I find that it's easier to work with smaller files,
whether they're related or not. So in my case, I'd actually prefer if
I had a library of calendar functions for example, to have a folder
with several actual files, and I may choose to create a separate file
for each function or to just group the functions into several different
categories. For inclusion's sake I would probably create a "wrapper"
to load the set -- just a single file that includes all the other
functions.
Although in my case when I'm working on my own projects the
onTap framework has a library manager/loader that expects (mostly)
each file to contain just the one function and then also uses that same
file to provide documentation for itself. So when you look at the
documentation for the framework in a browser, there's a page of docs for
each function library where it's actually including each file in the
library to show its docs. Helps to keep things tidy, although of course
there are always a few bugs in the docs.
