Library: String

» Objective

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 value out 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.

ℹ️ For type and options refer

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

• string.decode() - shared

✨ Decodes the encoded data using specified options.

ℹ️ For type and options refer

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
)
