Rojo / Argon Basics

Rojo Project File (default.project.json)

Rojo maps the file system to Roblox instances:

{
  "name": "MyGame",
  "tree": {
    "$className": "DataModel",
    "ServerScriptService": {
      "$path": "src/ServerScriptService"
    },
    "ServerStorage": {
      "$path": "src/ServerStorage"
    },
    "ReplicatedStorage": {
      "$path": "src/ReplicatedStorage"
    },
    "StarterGui": {
      "$path": "src/StarterGui"
    },
    "StarterPlayer": {
      "StarterPlayerScripts": {
        "$path": "src/StarterPlayer/StarterPlayerScripts"
      },
      "StarterCharacterScripts": {
        "$path": "src/StarterPlayer/StarterCharacterScripts"
      }
    },
    "ReplicatedFirst": {
      "$path": "src/ReplicatedFirst"
    }
  }
}

File Naming Convention (Rojo)

• .server.lua(u) → Script (ServerScript)
• .client.lua(u) → LocalScript
• .lua(u) → ModuleScript (default)
• init.lua(u) in a folder → ModuleScript, folder becomes the instance
• init.server.lua(u) in a folder → Script, folder children become instance children

Running Rojo

• rojo serve — Starts local sync server. Roblox Studio Rojo plugin connects to it.
• rojo build default.project.json -o MyGame.rbxlx — Builds a .rbxlx place file
• rojo upload default.project.json --asset-id 123456 --api-key <key> — Publishes to Roblox via Open Cloud
