Settings

From 0.9.0 new setting has been added to support file exclusion on workspace minification. This setting can prevent the minification of unwanted files (to leave untouched).

An example of the newly added feature:

"vscode-lua-minify.excludeGlobs": [
  "foo.lua",
  "bar.lua"
]

From 0.7.0 new settings has been added to support multiple functionalities.

• flavour: Identify which package is going to be used to minify the code. Possible values: "luamin" (default), "lua-format" [lua-format supports Luau]
• renameVariables: Available only if 'lua-format' is selected. Defines if the variables should be renamed
• renameGlobals: Available only if 'lua-format' is selected. Defines if the globals should be renamed
• solveMath: Available only if 'lua-format' is selected. Defines if the math should be solved

Here an example of settings.json file:

"vscode-lua-minify.flavour": "lua-format",
"vscode-lua-minify.renameVariables": false,
"vscode-lua-minify.renameGlobals": false,
"vscode-lua-minify.solveMath": false,
