Module Script Formatting

[delicate adder]

Anyone know if there are any differences between these? and if I should pick and choose each for certain scenarios?

E.G 1

local module = {
   Function = function()
      print("Does this matter?")
   end
}
return module

E.G 2 (Function outside table v1)

local module = {}

function module.Function()
    print("Does this matter?")
end
return module

E.G 2.5 (Function outside table v2)

local module = {}

module.Function = function()
    print("Does this matter?")
end
return module

E.G 3 (Function outside table v3)

local module = {}

module:Function = function()
    print("Does this matter?")
end
return module

[valid trout]

** You are now Level 1! **

[valid trout]

the only difference between these is the Function outside table v3

[delicate adder]

Oh?

: makes it pass self as the first argument

you might want to search about self if you dont know about it yet

No difference, it all works

Second example is mostly used and has more readability

Third example is used by entirely beginner

Second half example is used by someone who just starts at module

[rotund dome]

this is invalid luau code ```lua
local module = {}

module:Function = function()
print("Does this matter?")
end
return module```

the other 3 are yeah pick and chose, they're mostly the same.

there are some differences depending on your types and where you write each one but for beginners just consider them all functionally the same.

Got it! Ty!

i think he meant to put self

e.g 2.5 is more familiar if u work w frameworks

like overrides.
