Struct Lua 

pub struct Lua<'lua> { /* private fields */ }

A Lua state with the standard libraries installed.

The 'lua parameter mirrors hlua’s signature so consumer code that writes Lua<'a> keeps compiling; the shim itself owns its state outright.

Implementations

impl<'lua> Lua<'lua>

pub fn new() -> Lua<'lua>

Create a new Lua state with the standard libraries installed. Panics only on allocation failure, matching the effective behaviour of hlua::Lua::new().

pub fn open_string(&mut self)

Open the string library. lua-rs already opens the full standard library at construction, so this is a no-op kept for API compatibility.

pub fn execute<T: FromExec>(&mut self, code: &str) -> Result<T, LuaError>

Load and run a chunk of Lua source.

pub fn set<V: SetValue>(&mut self, name: &str, value: V)

Set a global. Accepts the functionN wrappers from this crate.

pub fn get<'l, V>(&'l mut self, name: &str) -> Option<V>

where V: FromLuaGlobal<'l>,

Read a global by name. The value type is chosen by the caller, e.g. lua.get::<StringInLua<_>, _>("descr").

Trait Implementations

impl Default for Lua<'_>

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Drop for Lua<'_>

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

fn pin_drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pin_ergonomics)

Execute the destructor for this type, but different to Drop::drop, it requires self to be pinned.
