Libraries

Edit

Libraries are external packages that you can import and use in your projects. Some libraries extend the capabilities of LÖVR and others just make it easier to get stuff done. Libraries are usually distributed as a single Lua file. You can copy the Lua file into your project and require it to use the library:

-- library.lua is sitting next to our main.lua here
local lib = require('library')

function lovr.load()
  lib.doStuff()
end

Also see the Plugins page for a list of useful plugins.
