A program (now abandoned) that allows multiple lua files to be joined together into a single bundle. Previously used to learn more on Rust, and to develop single-file scripts, I am but no longer doing that anymore, so I am making this repository public.

JSON files are also supported.

Download the binary from the releases page, and place it in your path.

Each file is structured as modules. You can use relative and absolute paths to import modules.

• JSON and Lua module imports
• Supports relative and absolute paths
• Supports 'require(script.Parent. [...])' syntax
• Can use luau types, will be removed on compilation

Used nicely with Roblox LSP

file: main.lua

local text = _require("text") -- could also be ./text, since it's in the same dir
print(module:getText())

file: text.lua

local text = {}
function text:getText()
    return "Hello, World!"
end

return text

JSON files will automatically be converted to lua tables.

This will prompt you for the project's configuration, and create the appropriate file and folders.

luajoin init

This will watch for file changes in your source folder and automatically rebuild the bundle. It is a really fast process, as files are cached.

luajoin serve

A longer process, as optimizations are applied to the bundle. This is the command you should use when deploying your project.

luajoin build
