luamin

library1.0.4jsnpmunverified

luamin is a Lua minifier written in JavaScript, version 1.0.4, released sporadically. It uses luaparse to parse Lua code into an AST and generates a compact but semantically equivalent output. Compared to alternatives like LuaMinify, it is designed for JavaScript environments (Node.js, browsers, etc.). The package is stable but has seen no recent updates and is considered in maintenance mode.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

luamin

✓ import luamin from 'luamin'

✗ const luamin = require('luamin');

CommonJS require works in Node.js; ESM import is also supported via module wrapper.

minify

✓ import { minify } from 'luamin'

✗ import { minify } from 'luamin/minify'

minify is the named export from the main module.

default (luamin)

✓ const luamin = require('luamin');

✗ import luamin from 'luamin/minify'

The default export is the whole module; common pattern is to use require.

Demonstrates basic usage: minify Lua code string via luamin.minify().

const luamin = require('luamin'); const input = ` -- This is a comment local a = 1 + 2 local b = a * 3 return b `; const minified = luamin.minify(input); console.log(minified); // 'local a=1+2 local b=a*3 return b'

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is no longer actively maintained; relies on older version of luaparse.

fix

Consider using a more modern Lua minifier or fork as needed.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaMinification may produce invalid Lua if the AST is malformed; no validation is performed.

fix

Ensure input Lua is syntactically valid before minifying.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe minifier does not handle all edge cases like string escapes or long comments correctly.

fix

Test minified output for correctness in your specific use case.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'luaparse'

luaparse is a peer dependency not installed automatically by npm.

fix

Run `npm install luaparse` alongside luamin.

TypeError: luamin.minify is not a function

Importing incorrectly (e.g., default export confusion in ESM).

fix

Use `const luamin = require('luamin');` or `import * as luamin from 'luamin';`.
