| Command | Description | |-|-| | yarn add -D tstl-json-lua | Install these declarations | | yarn add rxi/json.lua | Install json.lua |

Upon installation these declarations can be linked to a tsconfig.json file.

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "types": [
            "tstl-json-lua"
        ]
    }
}

And used within any .ts file.

import * as json from "json";

let s = json.encode({
    n: 42,
    s: "Hello world"
});

print(json.decode(s));

Make sure to append ";./node_modules/json.lua/?.lua" to your package.path in a conf.ts file (this is run first) to assist where Lua looks for modules.

package.path += ";./node_modules/json.lua/?.lua";

Also you need to add "typescript-to-lua/language-extensions" to tsconfig.json file.

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "types": [
            "typescript-to-lua/language-extensions"
        ]
    }
