Codify

 

Codify converts your pre-existing Roblox Instances into code in a flash.

Whether you work with vanilla Roblox Instances, or prefer a framework, such as Fusion or Roact, Codify has you covered!

Permissions Overview

HTTP Requests

Codify uses HTTP requests to fetch the latest information about Roblox Instances. This is required to enable core plugin functionality, as this is not possible without access to API dumps.

Below is a list of URLs used by Codify (all requests are unauthenticated):

• https://s3.amazonaws.com/setup.roblox.com/DeployHistory.txt
• https://s3.amazonaws.com/setup.roblox.com/versionQTStudio
• https://s3.amazonaws.com/setup.roblox.com/version-{{hash}}-API-Dump.json
• https://api.github.com/repos/csqrl/codify-plugin/contributors?anon=1

Script Injection

This is a completely optional permission, and will not degrade the plugin's functionality if disabled. You will only be prompted for this permission when using the "Save to Device" feature.

This is necessary to the Save to Device feature only. The plugin will temporarily create a ModuleScript inside of ServerStorage, which will be used to prompt to save a file to your device. The ModuleScript will be destroyed immediately after closing the save dialogue.

• Temporary scripts are also unarchivable (.Archivable property set to false). This means they will not be saved when (auto-)saving your project, or saving/publishing to Roblox.
