roblox-ts is a TypeScript-to-Luau compiler that lets developers write Roblox game code in TypeScript and transpiles it into functionally equivalent Luau. It provides generated type definitions for the Roblox API and integrates with standard TypeScript tooling like VSCode, ESLint, and Prettier.

Use cases

  • write roblox games in typescript
  • compile typescript to luau
  • add static typing to roblox development
  • use vscode intellisense for roblox scripting
  • manage large-scale roblox projects with type safety
  • use npm packages in roblox projects

When to choose

  • building large or team-based Roblox projects that benefit from static types
  • you prefer TypeScript tooling and ecosystem over plain Luau
  • you want IDE intellisense, linting, and formatting for Roblox code

When to avoid

  • small scripts where plain Luau is simpler
  • you rely heavily on the Roblox Studio debugger, since debugging transpiled code is harder
  • you need features of Luau not expressible in TypeScript
