Sandbox: Lua: String - ov-studio/Vital.sandbox GitHub Wiki
━ 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!
━ 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.
━ string.isVoid() (Shared)
@Objective: Verifies whether the string is void.
local bool: result = string.isVoid(
string: baseString
)
━ string.parse() (Shared)
@Objective: Parses and returns possible value out of the string.
local ~: result = string.parse(
string: baseString
)
━ string.parseHex() (Shared)
@Objective: Parses and returns possible color values of the hex.
local float: r, float: g, float: b = string.parseHex(
string: baseString
)
━ string.encode() (Shared)
@Objective: Encodes the data using specified options.
local string: result = string.encode(
string: baseString,
string: type,
table: options
)
type: "tea", "aes128"
options: {
string: key = encryptKey
}
━ string.decode() (Shared)
@Objective: Decodes the encoded data using specified options.
local string: result = string.decode(
string: baseString,
string: type,
table: options
)
type: "tea", "aes128"
options: {
string: key = encryptKey
}
━ string.split() (Shared)
@Objective: Splits the data using specified separator.
local table: result = string.split(
string: baseString
string: separator
)
━ string.kern() (Shared)
@Objective: 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)
@Objective: Converts specified string's tabs to spaces.
local string: result = string.detab(
string: baseString
)
━ string.minify() (Shared)
@Objective: Minifies the specified data.
local string: result = string.minify(
string: baseString
)
