LuaClass is a simple class module written in Luau that allows for classes with inheritance similar to TypeScript/JavaScript. It provides a fluent API for defining classes, extending them, and creating instances, making object oriented patterns straightforward in Luau
ok show performance
bro how come i see you on every forum post
I don’t see a point to this, I think roblox gives all the necessary things without having to define new classes for whatever.
why should i use this over tables
you shouldnt unless you need what its providing, use it if you need:
if its something small scale or one off then stick with tables, it would be faster
what in the subjective
luau provides a lot of primitives to make OOP / ‘classes’ possible but it doesnt simplify inheritance or standardise constructor methods
LuaClass tries to provides better DX and architecture long term IF you’re familiar with JS/TS patterns or other similar languages. its simply opt-in if its for you
readability is subjective, that is the point of LuaClass
if tables read better for you then dont use it. it isnt trying to replace tables, its an abstraction
this isnt a performance library comparable to raw tables
it trades a tiny amount of runtime overhead for (subjectively) bettter readability, inheritance, and maintainability
