<h3 align=center>A collection of handy table functions 📄</h3>

# Installation

## Luarocks

If you are using [luarocks](https://luarocks.org), just run:

```
luarocks install list
```

## Manual

Copy the [list.lua](list.lua) file somewhere where your Lua interpreter will be able to find it and require it accordingly:

```lua
local list = require("list")
```

## Tips

You can extend the Lua table namespace by doing:

list.update(table, list)
```

so you can use them as table methods:
```lua
table.stringify({})
```
