Lazy is a library that extends the standard Lua library.
It exposes function modules such as math, string, table, etc.

It's aimed to fill the gaps of Lua's standard libraries by providing functions such as math.round to round numbers, string.trim to remove leading and trailing white spaces from a string and many many many more.

One important feature of Lazy is that the require path of modules is automatically resolved, which allows you to require the lazy library from virtually anywhere.
For example the lazy folder may be located in the root of your project or any sub-directory. More so, upon setting your LUA_PATH correctly, lazy can be required anywhere from your PC without having to import it into your project. Please refer to the GitLab page for more information .


Example usage:

local lazy = require "lazy"

lazy.math.round(1234.5678, 2) --> 1234.57
lazy.os.capture("pwd") --> /home/name/projects/lua/lazy
lazy.string.split("Lua is amazing!", " ") --> { "Lua", "is", "amazing!" }
lazy.table.append({ "A" }, { "B" }, { "C" }, { "D" }) --> { "A", "B", "C", "D" }
