Best Practices & Tips

✓Format Lua before code reviews. Clean, consistently formatted code is easier to review and helps reviewers focus on logic rather than style issues.
✓Use consistent indentation across your team. Choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs for Lua and stick with it. This formatter makes it easy to enforce your team's standard.
✓Format minified Lua for debugging. When debugging production issues, format the minified code first to make it human-readable. This tool handles even heavily compressed Lua.
✓Combine with validation. Always validate Lua after formatting to ensure no errors were introduced. Use our Lua validator alongside this formatter.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: Formatted output has syntax errors

Solution: The formatter preserves your original Lua content exactly - it only changes whitespace and indentation. If output has errors, the input likely had errors. Validate first, then format.

Example: If your minified Lua had missing commas, formatting will make them more visible but won't fix them.

Problem: Indentation doesn't match my preference

Solution: Check the indentation settings (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs). The formatter applies your chosen style consistently throughout the Lua.

Example: If you want 4-space indentation but see 2 spaces, change the setting and re-format.
