Finding and retrieving scripts
[edit]The module exports a number of functions that are used to find scripts.
Script objects
[edit]A Script object is returned from one of the functions above. It is a Lua representation of a script and the data associated with it. It has a number of methods that can be called on it, using the : syntax. For example:
local m_scripts = require("Module:scripts")
local sc = m_scripts.getByCode("Latn")
local name = sc:getCanonicalName()
-- "name" will now be "Latin"
