Attribute - The most efficient attribute module for simple code

#1

In this post, I would like to present the most simple attribute module that I’ve made. This module is aimed for efficient and simple code. I will provide 2 code examples showing it’s main features:

table-like interface

local Attribute = require(path.to.module)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local myAttributes = Attribute(player)

myAttributes.Money = 500
print(myAttributes.Money)

Javascript-like functions

The main difference between this module and any alternative is the option to chain functions, inspired by many node js modules. This makes it easier to set item attributes only once in a script.

local Attribute = require(path.to.module)

-- ...

for _, limbName in limbs do
	local limb = character[limbName]
	Attribute(limb):Set('LimbHealth', 100):Set('Attached', true)
end

Attrbute.rbxm (1018 Bytes)

Code 
-- dauser

local module = {}
module.__index = function(self, key)
	if rawget(module, key) then
		return rawget(module, key)
	else
		return self._instance:GetAttribute(key)
	end
end
module.__newindex = function(self, key, value)
	return self._instance:SetAttribute(key, value)
end

function module:Get(key)
	return self._instance:GetAttribute(key)
end

function module:Set(key, value)
	self._instance:SetAttribute(key, value)
	return self
end

export type AttributeMaster = {
	Get: (self, key: string) -> (),
	Set: (self, key: string, value: number | string | boolean | Instance) -> (AttributeMaster)
}

return function(instance: Instance): AttributeMaster
	local self = {}
	self._instance = instance
	setmetatable(self, module)
	
	return self
end
