Struct Parser 

pub struct Parser<'src, V: LuaVersion> { /* private fields */ }

The main parser. Feed it Lua source code and get back an Ast.

The type parameter V selects which Lua version’s grammar to use. Pick one of Luau, Lua51, Lua52, Lua53, or Lua54.

Example

use luaparse_rs::{Parser, Luau};

let parser = Parser::<Luau>::new("local x = 1").unwrap();
let ast = parser.parse().unwrap();

Implementations

impl<'src, V: LuaVersion> Parser<'src, V>

pub fn skip_generic_args(&mut self) -> Result<(), ParseError>

impl<'src, V: LuaVersion> Parser<'src, V>

pub fn new(source: &'src str) -> Result<Self, LexError>

Creates a new parser from a source string.

This tokenizes the input immediately. If the source contains invalid tokens (like an unterminated string), you’ll get a LexError here.

pub fn parse(self) -> Result<Ast, ParseError>

Parses the source and returns the full syntax tree.

This consumes the parser. If you need type declarations (Luau), use parse_with_types instead.

pub fn parse_with_types(self) -> Result<AstWithTypes, ParseError>

Parses the source and returns the syntax tree along with type declarations.

This is the Luau variant of parse. It pulls type and export type declarations into a separate list so you can work with them independently from the rest of the code.
