loadfile

Compiles a file into a function with the Luau compatibility pass. Returns nil, message on failure.

Syntax

loadfile(path: string) -> function

Parameters

Returns

Description

loadfile is part of the File system library. File functions are sandboxed to the executor workspace; paths outside it are rejected.

Each call creates or returns a fresh object or value that you can store and pass to other functions.

Example

local fn = loadfile("script.lua")
if fn then fn() end

Notes

• Paths are sandboxed to the executor workspace.
