API

compile(sources)

This compiles lua source code to a bytecode buffer

  • sources: string - the lua source code
  • returns a LuaResult object:
{
    luaError?: string, // The error as retrieved from lua
    error?: LuaError, // An error object
    bytecode?: Buffer
}

Example

const lua = require('@willo/node-lua');

try {
    const result = lua.compile("print('2 + 10 * 4')");
    if (result.error) {
        // Handle lua error
    }
    console.log(result.bytecode);
    /* <Buffer 1b 4c 75 61 54 ...> */
} catch (err) {
    // Handle global error (memory or unexpected library errors)
    console.error('Something wrong happened:', err);
}
