Description:

A library for managing data files in the world directory.

It takes a little work to read from & write to data in the world directory. wdata aims to make that easier by utilizing just two simple methods.

This mod is essentially an alternative to Minetest's built-in StorageRef but adds some features & customizations.

Usage:

There are two methods:

wdata.read(fname)
- reads json data from file in world directory & converts to a table.
- parameters:
    - fname:  File basename without suffix (e.g. "my_config" or "my_mod/my_config").

wdata.write(fname, data[, flags])
- converts table to json data & writes to file in world directory.
- parameters:
    - fname:  File basename without suffix (e.g. "my_config" or "my_mod/my_config").
    - data:   Table containing data to be exported.
    - flags:  Table of modifying flags.
        - styled:        Outputs in a human-readable format if this is set (default: true).
        - null_to_table: "null" values will be converted to tables in output (default: false).

Requirements:

  • Depends: none
  • Optional depends: none

  • not useful

    This mod provides what a mod should implement itself, not depend on a external dependancy. Not to mention it could use mod storage itself. Nice icon for the project though
