Library: String

━ What's the Objective?

Lua provides built in string module by default, however its deprived of utf8 support. utf8 is essential especially when trying to work w/ non ASCII characters such as 'cyrillic' etc. This module extends existing string module while adding utf8 support without breaking backwards compatibility!

━ How to Import?

It gets imported automatically by default whenever you initialize assetify.

--Declare it globally only once
loadstring(exports.assetify_library:import())()

━ APIs

ℹ️ Note:

Our extensions are written with backwards compatibility in mind; Expect your previous code to work as usual! However we recommend upgrading to newer syntax.
