Automatically generates Luau module boilerplate whenever you create a new .lua or .luau file.

If the newly created file is empty, the extension inserts a basic module template using the file's name as the module variable.

Features

Automatically detects newly created .lua and .luau files.
Only generates boilerplate if the file is empty.
Uses the filename as the module name.
Removes spaces ( ), hyphens (-), and underscores (_) from the variable name to produce a valid Luau identifier.
Displays a confirmation notification after the boilerplate has been generated.

Example

Creating a file named:

PlayerController.luau

Generates:

local PlayerController = {}

return PlayerController

Creating a file named:

Player_Controller.luau

Generates:

local PlayerController = {}

return PlayerController

Requirements

No additional configuration is required.

Simply install the extension and create a new empty .lua or .luau file inside your workspace.

Extension Settings

This extension does not contribute any custom settings.

Known Issues

Currently, only spaces, hyphens, and underscores are removed from filenames when generating the module variable. Other special characters are not sanitized.
