Struct sandkiste_lua::v5_3::LuaModule

pub struct LuaModule<'a, 'b> { /* private fields */ }

(Sub-)module in a LuaMachine (which is a Lua table)

The type LuaModule is used to implement the abstract Module trait which allows getting and setting variables (through Module::get and Module::set, respectively) a module (in this case: in a Lua table). A LuaModule may be obtained by calling HasModules::module on the LuaMachine (to obtain a top-level module/table) or Module::module on a LuaModule (to obtain a sub module/table, respectively).

To set global variables, use Globals::get and Globals::set directly on the LuaMachine instead.

Lifetimes

Lifetime argument 'a corresponds to the lifetime argument 'a of LuaMachine. It is a lower bound for closures passed to the Lua machine.

Lifetime argument 'b corresponds to the lifetime of the shared reference to the LuaMachine being worked with.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a, 'b> Module<'a, 'b> for LuaModule<'a, 'b>

fn module(&self, name: &str) -> Result<Self, MachineError>

Open a sub-module (create if non-existent)

fn get(
    &self,
    name: &str
) -> Result<<Self::Machine as Machine<'a>>::Datum<'b, 'static>, MachineError>

Get value from module

fn set<'c>(
    &self,
    name: &str,
    datum: <Self::Machine as Machine<'a>>::Datum<'b, 'c>
) -> Result<(), MachineError>

Set value in module

type Machine = LuaMachine<'a>

Machine type which the module belongs to
