rbxts-transform-guid

GUID

Compile-time GUID generation library. This can be used for networking remote purposes, or for general compile-time hash requirements.

Usage

This transformer makes use of the uuid jsdoc tag. By default it will use hashids for the generated strings.

/**
 * @uuid
 */
export const enum UUID {
    A = "Test",
    B = "Test2",
    C = "Test3"
}

So now

/**
 * @uuid
 */
export const enum UUID {
    A = "Test",
    B = "Test2",
    C = "Test3"
}

const test = UUID.A;

which will compile to

local test = "TDr8PURNna"

Macros

debugUUIDs <T>

Will reverse hashed enums, e.g.

/**
 * @uuid
 */
export const enum Test {
  RemoteName1 = "SomethingGoesHereLol",
  RemoteName2 = "AnotherThingGoesHere",
}

const uuids = $debugUUIDs<typeof Test>(); // NOTE: MUST BE `typeof EnumNameHere`.

local uuids = {
	["9QiYxp4Qy60"] = "RemoteName1",
	["0Ysr4LNVO9x"] = "RemoteName2",
}

Configuration

verbose: boolean

Whether or not the transformer's output is verbose, this can also be toggled using --verbose to rbxtsc.

generateEnumUUIDs: boolean

Whether or not to generate the UUIDs on compile - will default to true, overridden by environments.

environments: string[]

The environments this transformer will run the generators on - defaults to production.

generationType: UUIDGenerationType

The type of strings to generate per UUID use - This can be hashids, uuidv4 or string.
