API reference

Look up what Nova exposes, what changed from Roblox, and what to use when something is missing. The pages are generated from Nova's API dump, the current Roblox API dump, and the open-source Roblox creator-docs.

How to read a class page

1. The badge at the top is the class status.
2. The stat line shows how many members Nova declares and how many modern Roblox members are not implemented yet.
3. Members are collapsed by default. Expand one to see its signature, description, security level, and Nova notes.
4. The dashed modern members are not implemented panel lists the gaps for that class. Each row links to the Roblox documentation.
