🌟 [Release]: PowerShell-Lua data conversion now available via ConvertTo-Lua and ConvertFrom-Lua by MariusStorhaug · Pull Request #3 · PSModule/Lua

Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug) · 2026-04-13T17:08:55Z

PowerShell objects can now be serialized to Lua table constructor strings and deserialized back — enabling round-trip data conversion between PowerShell and Lua configuration files. This is useful for managing configuration data in Lua-based applications such as World of Warcraft addons (e.g., ElvUI).

FixesAdd ConvertTo-Lua and ConvertFrom-Lua for PowerShell-Lua data conversion #2

New: `ConvertTo-Lua` — serialize PowerShell objects to Lua

ConvertTo-Lua converts hashtables, ordered dictionaries, PSCustomObjects, arrays, and primitives into valid Lua table constructor strings per the Lua 5.4 grammar §3.4.9.

@{ name="ElvUI"; version="13.74"; enabled=$true } |ConvertTo-Lua# Output:# {# enabled = true,# name = "ElvUI",# version = "13.74"# }# Compressed output@(1,2,3) |ConvertTo-Lua-Compress
# Output: {1,2,3}

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
`-InputObject`	Any PowerShell object (mandatory, accepts pipeline input)
`-Depth`	Max recursion depth (default 2, range 0–100). Warns when exceeded
`-Compress`	Omit whitespace and indentation
`-EnumsAsStrings`	Serialize enum values as string names instead of numeric values
`-AsArray`	Always wrap output in a Lua sequence table, even for a single value

Properties with $null values are omitted from output (per Lua's nil-means-absent semantics). Keys use bare identifiers when valid per Lua grammar; bracket-quote notation otherwise.

New: `ConvertFrom-Lua` — deserialize Lua table strings to PowerShell objects

ConvertFrom-Lua parses Lua table constructor strings into PSCustomObject by default, or ordered hashtable with -AsHashtable.

'{ server = "localhost", port = 8080 }'|ConvertFrom-Lua# Output: PSCustomObject with .server and .port properties# Round-trip fidelity'{1, 2, 3}'|ConvertFrom-Lua-NoEnumerate |ConvertTo-Lua-Compress
# Output: {1,2,3}

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
`-InputObject`	A Lua table constructor string (mandatory, accepts pipeline input)
`-AsHashtable`	Output `[ordered]` hashtable instead of `PSCustomObject`
`-Depth`	Max nesting depth allowed in input (default 1024). Throws on violation
`-NoEnumerate`	Output arrays as a single `[object[]]` without pipeline enumeration

Supported Lua data types: tables (sequence, key-value, mixed, nested, empty), strings (double-quoted, single-quoted, long strings with all escape sequences), numbers (integer, float, hex, scientific notation), booleans, and nil.

Lua comments (single-line -- and multi-line --[[ ]]) are correctly ignored during parsing.

Technical Details

Template files removed: All placeholder files from the PSModule template (Book.ps1, SecretWriter.ps1, Get-PSModuleTest.ps1, New-PSModuleTest.ps1, Set-PSModuleTest.ps1, Test-PSModuleTest.ps1, format/type XML files, data files, variables, etc.) replaced with actual module implementation.
Public functions: src/functions/public/Lua/ConvertTo-Lua.ps1 and src/functions/public/Lua/ConvertFrom-Lua.ps1 — thin wrappers handling pipeline input, parameter validation, and -AsArray/-NoEnumerate behavior.
Private functions: ConvertTo-LuaTable.ps1 (recursive serializer with depth tracking and 4-space indent), ConvertFrom-LuaTable.ps1 (recursive-descent parser with script-scoped state), Format-LuaKey.ps1 (Lua identifier validation against pattern [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]* and reserved word list).
Parser: Pure PowerShell recursive-descent parser — no external DLL or .NET assembly dependency. Tracks nesting depth and throws when -Depth is exceeded.
Tests: 1,158 lines of Pester tests in tests/Lua.Tests.ps1 covering all Lua data types, comment handling, reserved words as keys, depth limits, parameter switches, round-trip conversion, and error cases. Test data files in tests/data/ (Lua/JSON pairs) for complex structure validation.
README: Updated with module description, installation instructions, and usage examples.
45 files changed, 2,620 insertions, 648 deletions.

- Implemented ConvertTo-Lua and ConvertFrom-Lua functions for converting PowerShell objects to Lua table strings and vice versa. - Added helper functions ConvertTo-LuaTable and Format-LuaKey for internal processing. - Created comprehensive tests for both conversion functions, covering various data types including primitives, strings, arrays, and tables. - Included test data files for validation of string and array conversions. - Ensured proper handling of comments and special characters in Lua syntax.
