Lua Parsing and Refactorization tools
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
A collection of tools for working with Lua source code. Primarily a Lua source code minifier, but also includes some static analysis tools and a general Lua lexer and parser.
|
|
|
|
Currently the minifier performs:
|
|
|
|
- Stripping of all comments and whitespace
|
|
- True semantic renaming of all local variables to a reduced form
|
|
- Reduces the source to the minimal spacing, spaces are only inserted where actually needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LuaMinify Command Line Utility Usage
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The `LuaMinify` shell and batch files are given as shortcuts to running a command line instance of the minifier with the following usage:
|
|
|
|
LuaMinify sourcefile [destfile]
|
|
|
|
Which will minify to a given destination file, or to a copy of the source file with _min appended to the filename if no output file is given.
|
|

LuaMinify Roblox Plugin Usage
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
First, download the source code, which you can do by hitting this button:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then copy the `RobloxPlugin` folder from the source into your Roblox Plugins directory, which can be found by hitting `Tools->Open Plugins Folder` in Roblox Studio.
