KitStdPrelude

Welcome To Hell comes with a variety of things in its utility library. However, if you had to manually import every single thing that you used, it would be very verbose. But importing a lot of things that a script never uses isn’t good either. A balance needs to be struck. The prelude is the list of things that most KitScripts will use, and is kept as small as possible.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local std = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("KitStd"))
local prelude = std.prelude

When Luau table destructuring is implemented, the prelude can be imported as such:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local std = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("KitStd"))

local { .attribute, .isBasePart, .getMaybeRootPart } = std.prelude
