API reference

Generated from the default Defold version's reference documentation. 58 namespaces documented.

Globals

Prefixless globals that Defold exposes to every script.

globalsPrefixless global symbols available to every Defold script.

Global types

Core value types (Vector3, Quaternion, Hash, …) that Defold exposes as ambient globals. Hand-curated from @defold-typescript/types rather than generated from the Defold reference documentation.

HashAn opaque, branded handle to a *hashed name*: hold it and pass it back to the engine API, but never inspect or construct it.
Matrix4A 4x4 transformation matrix.
OpaqueA nominal, branded handle to a value the engine owns and manages — a GUI node, a texture, a render target, a physics body, a socket, and so on: hold it and pass it back to the API, but never inspect or construct it.
QuaternionA rotation quaternion with `x`, `y`, `z`, and `w` components.
UrlA message-passing address with `socket`, `path`, and `fragment` components.
VectorA read-only numeric vector accessed by index; `length` is its component count.
Vector3A three-component vector with `x`, `y`, and `z` components.
Vector4A four-component vector with `x`, `y`, `z`, and `w` components.

Lua standard library

Pure-Lua and LuaJIT surfaces (base, bit, …). Types are provided by the lua-types dependency and are not re-emitted by @defold-typescript/types.
