Installation

npm install -g luabundler

Usage

bundle

The bundle command takes an input Lua file, and recursively collects all the require()d modules and bundles them into a single output bundle.

luabundler bundle input.lua -p "/path/to/lua/?.lua" -o bundle.lua

If you don't specify an output file (-o), the resultant bundle will be printed to your terminal.

Search Paths (-p)

In order to know where to look for required files, you must provide one or more search path patterns.

In addition to allowing you to add directories to search within, the pattern format allows you to configure supported file extensions as well.

For example, it's fairly common practice for Lua scripts written for Tabletop Simulator to use the .ttslua extension:

luabundler bundle input.lua -p "/path/to/lua/?.lua" -p "/path/to/mod/?.ttslua"  -o bundle.lua

Additional Options

Additional bundle options are described with:

luabundler bundle --help

unbundle

The unbundle command takes an input bundle, and splits it up into its original modules.

luabundler unbundle bundle.lua -o original_input.lua -m modules/

You may omit the -m option in order to simply output the root module and ignore all its require()'d dependencies i.e. if you already have them on disk.

Additional Options

Additional unbundle options are described with:

luabundler unbundle --help
