Module:No globals
Revision as of 15:38, 9 January 2019 by Dinoguy1000 (talk | contribs) (Protected "Module:No globals": High traffic page ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)))
This module causes an error if any nil global is read or if any global is written to, with the exception of arg. To use, add to the top of the module using it. The arg variable is excluded because it is necessary for Scribunto's require function to work properly. (See the Scribunto source code here.)

local mt = getmetatable(_G) or {}
function mt.__index (t, k)
if k ~= 'arg' then
error('Tried to read nil global ' .. tostring(k), 2)
end
return nil
end
function mt.__newindex(t, k, v)
if k ~= 'arg' then
error('Tried to write global ' .. tostring(k), 2)
end
rawset(t, k, v)
end
