Introduction

Writing Your First Network Description

Blink's language is really simple, you will learn more throught the guide.
First create a .blink file in your desired directory, then copy the example below into your file:

-- these can be ignored if you are using the studio plugin
option ClientOutput = "path/to/client.luau"
option ServerOutput = "path/to/server.luau"
 
event MyFirstEvent {
    from: Server,
    type: Reliable,
    call: SingleSync,
    data: string
}

Compile Your Network Description

Open a terminal in the directory you created your file and run the following command:

blink FILE_NAME

This will generate 2 Luau files, "path/to/client.luau" and "path/to/server.luau". You can now use these files in your project.

Using The Generated Code

Blink returns an immutable table with all of your events and functions. Using this table you can connect to your events and or functions and fire/invoke them.

local Net = require(Path.To.Server)
 
Net.MyFirstEvent.FireAll("Hello World")

local Net = require(Path.To.Client)
 
Net.MyFirstEvent.On(function(Text)
    print(Text)
end)
