Crate tealr

tealr

A wrapper around rlua to help with embedding teal

tealr adds some traits that replace/extend those from rlua, allowing it to generate the .d.tl files needed for teal.

Small example

#[derive(Clone,Copy,TealDerive)]
struct Example {}
impl TealData for Example {
}
fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let file_contents = TypeWalker::new()
        .proccess_type::<Example>()
        .generate_global("test")
        .expect("oh no :(");
    println!("{}\n ", file_contents);
    Ok(())
}

Future plans

Its possible for lua to load .tl files directly after it loaded the compiler. I would like to make use of this and expose methods that already perpare the lua vm in this way.

This should make it pretty much as easy to work with teal as with lua. However, I am not sure if doing this breaks any rules from rlua. As such, some research is required.

Structs

TealType	Represents a type
TypeWalker	This generates the .d.tl files
UserDataWrapper	Used to turn UserDataMethods into TealDataMethods.

Traits

TealData	This is the teal version of UserData.
TealDataMethods	The teal version of UserDataMethods
TealMultiValue	A collection of TealValues.
TypeRepresentation	A trait to collect the required type information like the name of the type.
UserData	Trait for custom userdata types.

Derive Macros

TealDerive	Implement both UserData and TypeRepresentation.
TypeRepresentation	Implements TypeRepresentation.
UserData	Implements UserData.
