Module:Sandbox/Aidan9382/CodeAnalysis/doc: Difference between revisions

Usage

This module is to be required and used from the Debug console, like the following: require("Module:Sandbox/Aidan9382/CodeAnalysis").run(). The module will then note any unused locals or any global references.

The function can be provided an argument to specify a target page other than the current page. Valid inputs are the name of the wanted page as a string, or the mw.title object of the wanted page.

The code of this is mostly lifted from https://github.com/9382/Dump/tree/main/LuaObfuscator, which in turn lifts a lot of code from https://github.com/stravant/LuaMinify.
