ZeroBrane Studio Corona API 2020.3606

andrei18 · August 3, 2020, 3:32am

Hi guys!
I am using ZeroBrane Studio as my IDE for Corona (Solar2D) development.
In the current version 1.90 we still have an outdated Corona API converted from CoronaSDK-APIDOC-2017-3068.
It is missing several properties like display.safeActual..

Yesterday I managed to generate an updated table based on current API docs 2020.3606
Since it wasn’t a straight forward process (needed to modify generation script and run some regex to strip HTML tags), I thought I’d share it with the community, in case anybody needs it. I am using this new API since yesterday with no issues.

Cool! Thank´s.

Nice work!

How about uploading this to GitHub with simple installation instructions(like Solar2D Editor for example) so we can add this to documentation as the ZeroBrane Studio package?

I am not sure how to go about GitHub, since this is nothing new, ZeroBrane supports corona out of the box, it’s just that the API is somewhat outdated. Maybe I should submit it to https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio for inclusion?

Also, there is no installation - just replace the corona.lua in ZeroBraneStudio\api\lua

Submitting the changes, definitely a far better idea. I’m not aware of how ZeroBrane works but that would benefit more developers.

Here is a better version, more complete ( ran the original script on markdown set instead of HTML). Don’t know how to delete original attachment.

Hi, @andrei18. Could you please tell me how you were able to update the corona.lua file from the corona-docs? I’m trying to get the latest API info in the corona.lua like you did but can’t find or build the file CoronaSDK-APIDOC-year-build.zip. Sorry to bother you in such an old topic but it’s the only reference I found regarding the topic.

Edit: I finally got it. Here it is for anyone who might find it useful.

Great, I was about to post this when I saw your edit. Here it is anyway for future reference.

I think the needed docs may be here:
