writefile

Writes Lua string bytes to a file inside the workspace, creating missing parent directories and replacing the file contents if the file already exists.

Syntax

writefile(path: string, content: string)

Aliases

writefileasync

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
`path`	`string`	Yes	File path resolved inside the workspace after separator normalization, workspace-boundary checks, and filename/extension checks. Absolute paths are accepted only if they resolve inside the workspace.
`content`	`string`	Yes	Lua string bytes to write. The data is written in binary truncate mode; writefile does not add newlines, BOM bytes, null terminators, or other extra bytes.

Example

Write bytes to a workspace file and replace any existing contents.

local path = "examples/config.json"

writefile(path, '{"enabled":true}')
print(readfile(path))

writefile(path, "")
print(#readfile(path))
