Constructor Details

#initialize(include_libs = true) ⇒ State

Instantiates a Lua state (runtime).

Accepts an ‘include_libs’ optional arg. When set to true (the default, all the base Lua libs are loaded in the runtime.

This optional arg can be set to false, when no libs should be present, or to an array of libs to load in order to prepare the state.

The list may include ‘base’, ‘package’, ‘table’, ‘string’, ‘math’, ‘io’, ‘os’ and ‘debug’.

Instance Method Details

#[](k) ⇒ Object

Returns a value set at the ‘global’ level in the state.

state.eval('a = 1 + 2')
puts state['a'] # => "3.0"

def [](k)

  k.index('.') ?  self.eval("return #{k}") : get_global(k)
end

#[]=(k, v) ⇒ Object

Allows for setting a Lua varible immediately.

state['var'] = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
puts state['var'].to_a[0] # => 1

def []=(k, v)

  #puts; puts("#{k} = #{Rufus::Lua.to_lua_s(v)}")
  self.eval("#{k} = #{Rufus::Lua.to_lua_s(v)}")
end

#close ⇒ Object

Closes the state.

It’s probably a good idea (mem leaks) to close a Lua state once you’re done with it.

def close

  fail 'State already closed' unless @pointer
  Lib.lua_close(@pointer)
  @pointer = nil
end

#eval(s, bndng = nil, filename = nil, lineno = nil) ⇒ Object

Evaluates a piece (string) of Lua code within the state.

def eval(s, bndng=nil, filename=nil, lineno=nil)

  loadstring_and_call(s, bndng, filename, lineno)
end

#function(name, opts = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Binds a Ruby function (callback) in the top environment of Lua

require 'rufus/lua'

s = Rufus::Lua::State.new

s.function 'key_up' do |table|
  table.inject({}) do |h, (k, v)|
    h[k.to_s.upcase] = v
  end
end

p s.eval(%{
  local table = {}
  table['CoW'] = 2
  table['pigs'] = 3
  table['DUCKS'] = 'none'
  return key_up(table)
}).to_h
  # => { 'COW' => 2.0, 'DUCKS => 'none', 'PIGS' => 3.0 }

s.close

:to_ruby => true

Without this option set to true, Lua tables passed to the wrapped Ruby code are instances of Rufus::Lua::Table. With this option set, rufus-lua will call #to_ruby on any parameter that responds to it (And Rufus::Lua::Table does).

s = Rufus::Lua::State.new

s.function 'is_array', :to_ruby => true do |table|
  table.is_a?(Array)
end

s.eval(return is_array({ 1, 2 }))
  # => true
s.eval(return is_array({ 'a' = 'b' }))
  # => false

#open_library(libname) ⇒ Object

#open_library(libname) - load a lua library via lua_call().

This is needed because is the Lua 5.1 Reference Manual Section 5 (www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5) it says:

“The luaopen_* functions (to open libraries) cannot be called directly, like a regular C function. They must be called through Lua, like a Lua function.”

“..you must call them like any other Lua C function, e.g., by using lua_call.”
