A lua library for making Aseprite scripts & extensions

About The Project

This project was made to remove the hassle of having to constantly look for functions on the api page.
With that in mind, this lua library lets view functions and fields on your project itself.

Installation

1. Download the Lua extension on the VSCode Marketplace

From here you have 2 choices:

2. Download the library file and paste it into your project anywhere

OR (Better, because using this method will make you able to stay synced to this repository.)

2. Add the Aseprite-Library repository as a submodule to your project by running the following command git submodule add https://github.com/RampantDespair/Aseprite-Library lib/Aseprite-Library

3. Add the following to your .vscode\settings.json file (if it doesn't exist, just create it)

{
    "Lua.workspace.library": [
        "lib\\Aseprite-Library\\Aseprite-Library.lua"
    ]
}

4. Start writing your script :)

Example

If you want to see a real usage example, you can go check out my Aseprite-Extension.

Important

Do not import the library file into your actual script (dofile/require), because this library is to be used strictly in development, not in production.
