Plugin to import libraries fast and easy

[PablitoTheChicken]

I made a simple plugin where you can import useful libraries fast and easy. You now do not have to look for them on the toolbox, github or devforum.

You can also upload your own scripts to it and import them fast and easy. They will also save when closing studio.

If you have any more libraries i should add, dm me on discord, twitter or tell me in the comments below

Library Browser - Roblox

(This plugin is made in under 3 hours so expect some bugs, i will be updating it frequently and add more libraries + features.)

The place that a video should be instead looks like this:

Is just a strange bug or is other people having the same problem?

Isn’t this the point of the Toolbox’s “Owned by You” section?

some libraries are on github or hidden in the toolbox due to spam bots and such. With this you can get them fast without having to go look for them on github, dev forum and such. Just saves some time

The problem with this resource is that all the libraries are forked into the plugin’s source instead of loading them directly off the GitHub repositories:

This diminishes the usefulness of the plugin because you aren’t receiving an up-to-date module and it’d be dependent on the developer afterward to fetch if there are any updates to the actual resources, meaning they’d have to do the very thing this plugin says developers can avoid doing.

It’s a whole lot more useful to learn Rojo + VS Code and include these modules as git submodules in your repository, require them directly from source or just cut out the useful-once middleman here and go directly to the library repository to get the latest file.

It does what it says on the tin, fast and easy library importing, but installing forks is probably not the way to go if you want long-term support here.

Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree but didn’t really had any clue of how to do so, i will try to take a better look at this and add it to the plugin as soon as possible!
