Dowload file from github

rrraptor

I wonder, is there a way to download a file from github AND make it as part of the current project, so I can use "require" to use it?

I was trying this method:

url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MultiPain/Gideros_SuperShape/master/SuperShape.lua

local url = "" -- forum convert urls to html <a> tag : D local loader = UrlLoader.new(url)   loader:addEventListener(Event.ERROR, function() print("Error loading file") end)   loader:addEventListener(Event.PROGRESS, function(e) print("Loaded:",e.bytesLoaded,"Total:",e.bytesTotal) end)   loader:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e) local out, err = io.open("|R|SuperShape.lua", "w") --< write to %temp%\gideros\*Project name*\resource if (err) then print(err) --< |R|SuperShape.lua: Permission denied return end out:write(e.data) out:close() end)

But its wrong way. I guess I just need to write file into assets folder where gproj located, but how can I get its pathh?)

print("Project Dir:",Studio.DATA.projectDir)

@rraptor, you need to run them with the addon player (Menu Addons/Addon player)
