{{Useful Function}} __NOTOC__
<lowercasetitle></lowercasetitle>
This function converts a nested table into a flattened table with concatenated keys.

{{Note|This function recursively traverses all nested subtables and creates a new table where keys represent the original hierarchy using dot notation.}}

==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">table table.flatten( table t, [ string prefix = "" ] )</syntaxhighlight>

===Required Arguments===
* '''t''': the nested table to flatten.

===Optional Arguments===
{{OptionalArg}}
* '''prefix''': a string to prepend to all keys (used internally for recursion).

===Returns===
* A new table where all nested keys are flattened using dot notation.

==Code==
<section name="Shared" class="both" show="true">
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
function table.flatten(t, prefix)
local flat = {}
prefix = prefix or ""
for k,v in pairs(t) do
local key = prefix .. k
if type(v) == "table" then
local sub = table.flatten(v, key..".")
for sk, sv in pairs(sub) do
flat[sk] = sv
end
else
flat[key] = v
end
end
return flat
end
</syntaxhighlight>

-- Output:
-- player.stats.hp = 100
-- player.stats.mp = 50
-- player.level = 5
