zigluastrip

a small commandline tool/library to minimize a lua source script by removing unnessesary whitespaces and comments to compact the source file.

compile exe

To compile the executable you need zig, tested with master (upcomming 0.12.0) it can be downloadad as a single archive from ziglang.org

Uncompress the archive and either add it to your path or call the build command with the full path.

To compile the executable call zig build exe the resulting executable will be in zig-out/bin If you want create a slightly faster release build call zig build exe -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

zig module

To use this as a module in you project create a build.zig.zon file, adding zigLuaStrip as dependency.

The url and hash are from the current master version, tested with zig master (upcomming 0.12.0)

.{ 
    .name = "myProject", 
    .version = "0.0.1", 
    .paths = .{""},
    .dependencies = .{ 
        .zigLuaStrip = .{
            .url = "https://github.com/SuSonicTH/zigluastrip/archive/7f8aaac5bd62b7c56c8ad06ed18685599f948d50.tar.gz",
            .hash = "1220f3a40896acfdf242b6d7d16e0658282b1ae708b5cde7ff2eab6fcc96b7e8be24",
        } 
    } 
}

and in your build.zig add the module as dependecy

const zigLuaStrip = b.dependency("zigLuaStrip", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});

and add it as a module to your exe/lib

//sample exe
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
    .name = "zli",
    .root_source_file = .{ .path = "src/main.zig" },
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});

//add module
exe.root_module.addImport("zigLuaStrip", zigLuaStrip.module("zigLuaStrip"));

zigLuaStrip exe as dependency in your build

If you, like me, want to minimize lua source files at zig build time to include them in your binary you can also use this module to run the exe at build time.

Add zigLuaStrip as dependecy in build.zig.zon and build.zig as described above and then add a run step to do the stripping at compile time. The artifact name is in lower case, not upper case as the module!!

var strip_step = b.addRunArtifact(zigLuaStrip.artifact("zigluastrip"));
strip_step.addArgs(&.{ script.input, script.output });
exe.step.dependOn(&strip_step.step);
