Plugin framework based on Unity+SLua 基于Unity和Slua的游戏开发框架

Features:

Plugin Design.
OPP Support.
Security Code Enviroment.
support require file by relative path.
插件模式设计，每个插件有独立的运行环境，彼此之间互不干扰。
支持面向对象。
安全的代码环境（例如不允许隐式定义全局变量，每个插件有自己独立的全局环境，无法在声明之外再为类增加字段或方法)
支持文件相对路径引用

##Setup (初始化)

SLua repository : https://github.com/pangweiwei/slua
ShellHelper repository : https://github.com/wlgys8/UnityShellHelper
LuaPlugins : user's code is here.
LuaFramwork : framework's code is here.

Click Menu->Slua->UnityEngine->Make
Click Menu->Slua->Custom->Make
Add LuaManager.cs to a scene gameobject.
Set the autoBoot in inspector to True

##How to add plugin (新建插件)

Create two folders named Plugin1 & Plugin2 under LuaPlugins.
Then create a file named "main.lua" under each folder.

Structure：

-LuaPlugins
	-Plugin1
		-main.lua
	-Plugin2
		-main.lua

1.Framework will traverse all folders under "LuaPlugins".
2.Each one folder represents a plugin.
3."main.lua" is used as the entry file.

1.框架会遍历LuaPlugins目录下的文件夹
2.每个文件夹代表一个插件
3."main.lua" 作为插件的执行入口

main.lua

	plugin{
		name = 'Plugin1', --plugin name
		main = function ( ... ) --entry function
		end,
		dependencies = { -- depend on any other plugins?
			"Plugin2",
		}
	}

What if i don't want put my lua code under LuaPlugins? Yes, you can add plugin search path to LuaManager on it's inspector.

##How to require moduels Framework provide a keyword use,it is almost the same as require. What's the difference between them is:

use will provide a special ENV for the file it loads. In this ENV, we can not define new global var implicitly. The limitation could help us to avoid global namespace pollution.

##How to share code between plugins (插件之间的互相访问)

##How to build plugins as assetBundles (如何打包成AssetsBundle)

Click Menu->Build->SelectBuildSetting
Config the search path where your lua plugins locate,like 'Assets/LuaPlugins'
Click build

Framework will generate assetbundles under Assets/Output/<Platform>/

##How to compile lua to bytecodes (如何将Lua编译成bytecode)

click menu->build->config
set compiler path for your platform.
click menu->build->buildLuaPlugins

either luac or luajit is ok.

important:the vesion of lua or luajit used for compiling must be the same as the lib's version which under the folder "Plugin/<Platform>"

Builder will search by path in order until get an available compiler. If no compiler is found, then the builder won't compile lua scripts.It will only change the extension from "*.lua" to "*.lua.txt"

##How to load lua from assetbundles. (如何从AssetBundle里加载代码）

Put assetbundles built above under StreamingAssets
Set LuaManager.mode = LuaRunMode.AssetBundle.

In Editor mode,luaManager will load lua file directly from editor,all modifications on files will be work immediately.This mode is recommanded when you are in developing.

In AssetBundle mode,luaManager will load lua file from assetbundle.If some files get changed,they should be rebuilt to to make the modifications work.

##If my assetbundles are on the server? （如何从服务器上下载插件代码) Set LuaManager.autoBoot = false,and boot the lua manager by yourself.

Before call LuaManager.LoadAllPlugins(), assign the url to the assetbundle that you want to load from server.

	IEnumerator Start(){
		yield return manager.Setup();
		manager.bundleManager.AddURL("bundleName","http://url-for-bundle");
		.
		.
		.
		yield return manager.LoadAllPlugins();
		yield return manager.LaunchPlugin();
	
	}

manager will load assetbundles from Application.StreamingAssets if there are no urls assigned to them.

##OOP implements (面向对象实现)

We can use keywork 'class' to define a class:

实现了class关键字.可以如下定义一个类型:

class('ClassA')

--static field
staticVar = 1

--private static field
local pStaticVar = 2

-- construct function
function ClassA:ctor(...)
	-- member field
	self.memberVar = 3
	print 'call class A ctor'
end

--member function
function ClassA:foo( ... )
	print 'call class A member function foo'
end

--static function
function ClassA.foo2( ... )
	print 'call classAstatic function foo2'
end

--also static function
function foo3( ... )
	print 'call classA static function foo3'
end

-- private static function
local function foo4( ... )
end

classend()

ClassA.newfiled = 1 --this will throw an error,cause we can not define new field or function any more after 'classend()'

another way to define a class:

	class.new('ClassB',BaseClass,{
		ctor = function(self)
		end,
		
		foo = function(self)
		end,
	})

define an anonymous class:

	local annoy = class.new(false,nil,{
		ctor = function(self)
		end
	})

usage:

调用方式:

local a = ClassA()
a:foo()

##How to receive MonoBehaviour Messages? Use LBehaviour.

LBehaviour works like MonoBehaviour in lua. It can be added to gameObject and receive MonoBehaviour messages.

Update callback was not provided in consideration of the performance.

class('MyBehaviour' ,LBehaviour)

	function MyBehaviour:Start()
		print('Start')
	end
	
	function MyBehaviour:OnEnable ()
		print('on enable')
	end

	function MyBehaviour:OnDisable()
		print('on disable')
	end

	function MyBehaviour:OnDestroy (  )
		print('on destroy')
	end


classend()

LBehaviour.AddTo(gameObject,MyBehaviour)

##Coroutine Slua支持在lua里使用coroutine. 但在某些情况下，coroutine并不能很好的满足我们的需求。比如:

无法停止一个thread.
场景销毁后，coroutine仍在执行.

针对这些情况，框架提供了另一个coroutine的实现:LCoroutine.

用例:

	local coroutine = LCoroutine() --create an instance
	-- local coroutine = LCoroutine(gameObject) --create an instance bind to target gameObject
	
	local co = coroutine:create(function() --create an thread on coroutine
		yield(WaitForSeconds(1))  -- yield
		coroutine:clear()  --supprot clear
		coroutine:destroy()  --only destroy LuaCoroutine MonoBehaviour
	--	coroutine:destroy(true) --destroy gameObject
		end
		)
	coroutine:resume(co)

通过local coroutine = LCoroutine()可以创建一个LCoroutine实例，每个实例运行在独立的MonoBehaviour上。

通过coroutine:destroy() 可以手动销毁这个LCoroutine,其对应的task均会停止执行.

也可通过coroutine:clear() 清除这个LCoroutine上的所有任务。
