Privacy note
Your input is processed locally in your browser whenever possible. We do not store your data.
Flow
- Parse Lua structures such as function/if/for blocks.
- Apply spacing and indentation rules for each nesting level.
- Return stable, readable code output for collaboration.
Example
Worked example: readable if/function nesting
- 1 Input script is compressed into a few long lines.
- 2 Formatter expands and indents nested blocks.
- 3 Output separates logic paths clearly.
Formatted Lua becomes easier to debug and maintain.
How
- Paste Lua code into the formatter input.
- Run formatting and inspect block layout.
- Copy output into your project or notes.
Cases
- Clean generated scripts for game/mod workflows.
- Reduce code-review noise in Lua repositories.
- Normalize snippets copied from runtime logs or tools.
Avoid
- Expecting formatter to understand all dialect-specific extensions.
- Ignoring parse errors caused by missing end keywords.
- Treating style normalization as runtime validation.
FAQ
Does lua formatter send my input to a server?
No. Lua Formatter handles the input in your browser whenever possible, so routine conversions, previews, and copy actions stay on your device instead of being sent to Calctrove servers.
Can this format all Lua dialects?
Most standard Lua syntax works, but niche dialect features may need manual review.
Why does formatting fail on my input?
Usually the snippet has unmatched blocks or parser-incompatible syntax.
