Struct actix_lua::dev::rlua::prelude::LuaFunction

pub struct LuaFunction<'lua>(_);

Handle to an internal Lua function.

Methods

impl<'lua> Function<'lua>

pub fn call<A, R>(&self, args: A) -> Result<R, Error> where     A: ToLuaMulti<'lua>,     R: FromLuaMulti<'lua>,

Calls the function, passing args as function arguments.

The function's return values are converted to the generic type R.

Examples

Call Lua's built-in tostring function:

let lua = Lua::new();
let globals = lua.globals();

let tostring: Function = globals.get("tostring")?;

assert_eq!(tostring.call::<_, String>(123)?, "123");

Call a function with multiple arguments:

let lua = Lua::new();

let sum: Function = lua.eval(r#"
    function(a, b)
        return a + b
    end
"#, None)?;

assert_eq!(sum.call::<_, u32>((3, 4))?, 3 + 4);

pub fn bind<A>(&self, args: A) -> Result<Function<'lua>, Error> where     A: ToLuaMulti<'lua>,

Returns a function that, when called, calls self, passing args as the first set of arguments.

If any arguments are passed to the returned function, they will be passed after args.

Examples

let lua = Lua::new();

let sum: Function = lua.eval(r#"
    function(a, b)
        return a + b
    end
"#, None)?;

let bound_a = sum.bind(1)?;
assert_eq!(bound_a.call::<_, u32>(2)?, 1 + 2);

let bound_a_and_b = sum.bind(13)?.bind(57)?;
assert_eq!(bound_a_and_b.call::<_, u32>(())?, 13 + 57);
