# tstl-trim-extensions
[](https://github.com/thinknathan/ts-defold-tstl-trim-extensions/actions/workflows/ci.yml)  
TypeScriptToLua plugin that strips the final extension from files with nested extensions.
Used by [@ts-defold](https://github.com/ts-defold).
## Installation
1. Install this plugin.
```bash
yarn add tstl-trim-extensions -D
# or
npm install tstl-trim-extensions --save-dev
```
2. Add this plugin to the `tstl.luaPlugins` section of `tsconfig.json`.
```diff
"tstl": {
"luaPlugins": [
{
+ "name": "tstl-trim-extensions"
}
]
}
```
### Update an existing TS-Defold project
1. Install this plugin as described above.
2. Update `TypeScriptToLua` to v1.5.0 or newer.
3. Remove `"trimExtensions": true` from the `tstl` section of `tsconfig.json`.
```diff
{
"tstl": {
- "trimExtensions": true,
}
}
```
## Example
Files with multiple nested extensions will have their final extension (`.lua` by default) stripped.
`player.script.ts` will be output as `player.script`
Files without multiple extensions will not be changed by this plugin.
`player.ts` will be output as `player.lua` as usual.
