Helper Module: Make coding easier

My fellow devs!

I have been using this for 2 years now, and it’s simple and efficient. Basically you make your own module containing some helper functions and you use them in your day to day code. It’s not much, it’s only an idea.

Example:

local Helper = {}

function Helper.GenerateId()
	return HTTP:GenerateGUID(false)
end

function Helper.RetryOperation(func, retries)
	retries = retries or 3

	local success, result = pcall(func)
	if not success and retries <= 0 then
		return Gizmo.RetryOperation(func, retries - 1)
	end

	return success, result
end

function Helper.Count(num: number, target: number, increment: number, waitTime: number, liveValue: ValueBase)
	for i = num, target, increment or 1 do
		if liveValue then liveValue.Value = i end
		task.wait(waitTime)
	end
end

return Helper

Other scripts:

local Helper = require(pathwayToHelperModule)

local sword = ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Sword:Clone()
sword.Id.Value = Helper.GenerateId()

Again, this isn’t much, but could make life a lot easier.
Thanks! :fire:
