defmodule Lua.API do
@moduledoc """
Defines the Behaviour for defining a Lua API
To create a module that exports functions to the global scope
defmodule MyAPI do
use Lua.API
# Can be called via `print("hi")` in lua
deflua print(msg), do: IO.puts msg
end
Optionally, you can provide a scope
defmodule SpecificAPI do
use Lua.API, scope: "namespace.domain"
# Can be called via `namespace.domain.foo(5)` in lua
deflua foo(v), do: v
end
You can access Lua state
defmodule State do
use Lua.API
deflua bar(name), state do
# Pull's the value of `number` out of state
val = Lua.get!(state, [:number])
2 * val
end
end
Regular functions are not exported
defmodule SpecificAPI do
use Lua.API
# Won't be exposed
def baz(v), do: v
end
## Installing an API
A `Lua.API` can provide an optional `install/1` callback, which
can run arbitrary Lua code or change the `Lua` state in any way.
An `install/1` callback takes a `t:Lua.t/0` and should either return a
Lua script to be evaluated, or return a new `t:Lua.t/0`
defmodule WithInstall do
use Lua.API, scope: "install"
@impl Lua.API
def install(lua) do
Lua.set!(lua, [:foo], "bar")
end
end
If you don't need to write Elixir, but want to execute some Lua
to setup global variables, modify state, or expose some additonal
APIs, you can simply return a Lua script directly
defmodule WithLua do
use Lua.API, scope: "whoa"
import Lua
@impl Lua.API
def install(_lua) do
~LUA[print("Hello at install time!")]
end
