LUA Scripting

Introduction

The LUA scripting area in Kephas handles LUA dynamic code execution using NeoLua.

Check the following packages for more information:

• Kephas.Scripting
• Kephas.Injection

Usage

• String based script execution

// normally you would get the processor injected into the service constructor.
var processor = injector.Resolve<IScriptProcessor>();
var script = new LuaStringScript(
@"function Power(a)
 return a * a
end
return Power(value) + 3");
var result = await processor.ExecuteAsync(script), new { value = 5 })).PreserveThreadContext();
Assert.Equals(28, result);

• File based script execution

The file scripts assume that the language can be inferred from the file extension. For LUA, it means that the file needs to and with a *.lua extension. If this is not the case, make sure you specify the language explicitly when creating a FileScript.

// normally you would get the processor injected into the service constructor.
var processor = injector.Resolve<IScriptProcessor>();
// LUA scripts ending with *.lua
var result = await processor.ExecuteAsync(new FileScript("myscript.lua"), new { value = 5 })).PreserveThreadContext();
Assert.Equals(28, result);
// LUA scripts not ending with *.lua
var result = await processor.ExecuteAsync(new FileScript("myscript.txt", LuaLanguageService.Language), new { value = 5 })).PreserveThreadContext();
Assert.Equals(28, result);
