Library: String

» Overview

The Lua standard library's string module lacks comprehensive UTF-8 support, which is crucial for handling non-ASCII characters like Cyrillic text. This module extends the existing string module with UTF-8 support while maintaining backward compatibility.

» Importing

It's already imported by default whenever you import assetify. You need to declare the below globally only once:

loadstring(exports.assetify_library:import())()

» APIs

ℹ️ Our extensions are designed with backward compatibility in mind; your existing code is expected to function as intended. Nonetheless, we recommend transitioning to newer syntax.

• string.isVoid() - shared

  ✨ Verifies whether the string is void.

  local bool: result = string.isVoid(
     string: baseString
  )

• string.parse() - shared

  ✨ Parses and returns possible values of the string.

  local ~: result = string.parse(
     string: baseString
  )

• string.parseHex() - shared

  ✨ Parses and returns possible color values of the hex.

  local float: r, float: g, float: b = string.parseHex(
     string: baseString
  )

• string.formatTime() - shared

  ✨ Formats milliseconds into hours:minutes:seconds time format.

  local string: result = string.formatTime(
     number: milliseconds
  )

• string.encode() - shared

  ✨ Encodes the data using specified options.
  💡 For type and options refer here.

  local string: result = string.encode(
     string: baseString,
     string: type,
     table: options
  )

• string.decode() - shared

  ✨ Decodes the encoded data using specified options.
  💡 For type and options refer here.

  local string: result = string.decode(
     string: baseString,
     string: type,
     table: options
  )

• string.split() - shared

  ✨ Splits the data using specified separator.

  local table: result = string.split(
     string: baseString
     string: separator
  )

• string.kern() - shared

  ✨ Kerns the data using specified kerner.

  local string: result = string.kern(
     string: baseString
     string: kerner --Optional: By default it use " " as kerner if left unspecified
  )

• string.detab() - shared

  ✨ Converts specified string's tabs to spaces.

  local string: result = string.detab(
     string: baseString
  )

• string.minify() - shared

  ✨ Minifies the specified data.

  local string: result = string.minify(
     string: baseString
  )
