Browser-Lua project is an abstract wrapper to several alternative backends that allow to run Lua code in browser.
Browser-Lua allows user to call Lua code from JS and JS code from Lua.
Browser-Lua is still in its embryonic phase of development. More detailed description would be added later.

(To be implemented)
-
BrowserLua.init([enabled_backends]) -
BrowserLua.doString(lua_code, [chunkname]) -
BrowserLua.callLua(functionName, args, ...) --> array of return values -
BrowserLua.provideFile(path, file_contents_string) -
BrowserLua.doFile(path)
-
BrowserLua.callJS(functionName, args, ...) --> return value -
BrowserLua.dofile(filename) -
BrowserLua.loadfile(filename, chunkname) -
BrowserLua.initWrapper()
Does the equivalent of this:
getenv().dofile = BrowserLua.dofile
getenv().loadfile = BrowserLua.loadfile
(To be designed and implemented)
- Data manipulation API just like lua-alchemy sugar.
- For JS (to manipulate Lua data)
- For Lua (to manipulate JS data)
- Modules, native to backend
- socket module (imitating luasocket.*)
