Struct actix_lua::dev::rlua::prelude::LuaAnyUserData

pub struct LuaAnyUserData<'lua>(_);

Handle to an internal Lua userdata for any type that implements UserData.

Similar to std::any::Any, this provides an interface for dynamic type checking via the is and borrow methods.

Internally, instances are stored in a RefCell, to best match the mutable semantics of the Lua language.

Note

This API should only be used when necessary. Implementing UserData already allows defining methods which check the type and acquire a borrow behind the scenes.

Methods

impl<'lua> AnyUserData<'lua>

pub fn is<T>(&self) -> bool where
    T: 'static + UserData, 

Checks whether the type of this userdata is T.

pub fn borrow<T>(&self) -> Result<Ref<T>, Error> where
    T: 'static + UserData, 

Borrow this userdata immutably if it is of type T.

Errors

Returns a UserDataBorrowError if the userdata is already mutably borrowed. Returns a UserDataTypeMismatch if the userdata is not of type T.

pub fn borrow_mut<T>(&self) -> Result<RefMut<T>, Error> where
    T: 'static + UserData, 

Borrow this userdata mutably if it is of type T.

Errors

Returns a UserDataBorrowMutError if the userdata is already borrowed. Returns a UserDataTypeMismatch if the userdata is not of type T.

pub fn set_user_value<V>(&self, v: V) -> Result<(), Error> where
    V: ToLua<'lua>, 

Sets an associated value to this AnyUserData.

The value may be any Lua value whatsoever, and can be retrieved with get_user_value.

pub fn get_user_value<V>(&self) -> Result<V, Error> where
    V: FromLua<'lua>, 

Returns an associated value set by set_user_value.
