Documentation

Documentation can be found here, is included in the TypeScript files directly, and was generated using TypeDoc.

Example

Here's a simple example of a destroyable class with a couple public methods on it that we want to make sure logs consistently when a destroyed instance is misused.

roblox-ts example

import { assertNotDestroyed, warnAlreadyDestroyed } from "@rbxts/destroyed-instance-logging";

export class Destroyable {
  private isDestroyed = false;

  public destroy() {
    if (this.isDestroyed) {
      warnAlreadyDestroyed(this);
      return;
    }

    // destruction logic
    this.isDestroyed = true;
  }

  public foobar() {
    assertNotDestroyed(this.isDestroyed, this);

    // foobar logic
  }
}

Luau example

local assertNotDestroyed = require(path.to.modules["destroyed-instance-logging"]).assertNotDestroyed
local warnAlreadyDestroyed = require(path.to.modules["destroyed-instance-logging"]).warnAlreadyDestroyed

local Destroyable = {}
Destroyable.__index = Destroyable

function new()
  local self = {}
  setmetatable(self, Destroyable)

  self.isDestroyed = false

  return self
end

function Destroyable:destroy()
  if self.isDestroyed then
    warnAlreadyDestroyed(self)
    return
  end

  -- destruction logic
  self.isDestroyed = true
end

function Destroyable:foobar()
  assertNotDestroyed(self.isDestroyed, self)

  -- foobar logic
end

return {
  new = new
}
