Table Lua checks names

Now, I have a list that stores the names of "moderators."

moderator = ["user1"] = true, ["user2"] = true, ["user3"] = true

moderator = ["user1"] = true, ["user2"] = true, ["user3"] = true

I want that if the user is moderator (if his name is in the list), he will be able to add other names in the list (that is, make other users moderators)

moderators = ["user1"] = true, ["user2"] = true, ["user3"] = true


Create a function to check if someone is a moderator:

function isModerator(name)
if moderators[name] == true then
return true
end

return false
end


Then use it! If someone is a moderator, then allow them to add a new key-value pair to the moderators table:

moderators

if isModerator("user2") then
moderators["otherName"] = true
end
