Description

This module provides types and functions to use Haskell values as userdata objects in Lua. These objects wrap a Haskell value and provide methods and properties to interact with the Haskell value.

The terminology in this module refers to the userdata values as /UD objects, and to their type as UD type/.

Documentation

data UDTypeGeneric e fn a Source #

A userdata type, capturing the behavior of Lua objects that wrap Haskell values. The type name must be unique; once the type has been used to push or retrieve a value, the behavior can no longer be modified through this type.

This type includes methods to define how the object should behave as a read-only list of type itemtype.

Constructors

UDType
Fields udName :: Name udOperations :: [(Operation, fn)] udProperties :: Map Name (Property e a) udMethods :: Map Name fn udAliases :: Map AliasIndex Alias udHooks :: UDTypeHooks e fn a udFnPusher :: fn -> LuaE e ()

Defining types

deftypeGeneric' Source #

Arguments

:: Pusher e fn	function pusher
-> Name	type name
-> [(Operation, fn)]	operations
-> [Member e fn a]	methods
-> UDTypeHooks e fn a	behavior modifying hooks
-> UDTypeGeneric e fn a

Defines a new "Lua type" and sets the behavior of the Lua object instances. It's possible to pass custom type extensions, which modify the default object behavior. Furthermore, the function pusher parameter controls how functions are marshaled to Lua.

Note that the type name must be unique.

Methods

methodGeneric :: Name -> fn -> Member e fn a Source #

Use a documented function as an object method.

Properties

property Source #

Arguments

Constructors

Fields propertyGet :: a -> LuaE e NumResults propertySet :: Maybe (StackIndex -> a -> LuaE e a) propertyDescription :: Text propertyType :: TypeSpec

data Operation Source #

Lua metadata operation types.

Constructors

Add	the addition (`+`) operation. If any operand for an addition is not a number (nor a string coercible to a number), Lua will try to call a metamethod. First, Lua will check the first operand (even if it is valid). If that operand does not define a metamethod for `__add`, then Lua will check the second operand. If Lua can find a metamethod, it calls the metamethod with the two operands as arguments, and the result of the call (adjusted to one value) is the result of the operation. Otherwise, it raises an error.
Sub	the subtraction (`-`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation.
Mul	the multiplication (`*`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation.
Div	the division (`/`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation.
Mod	the modulo (`%`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation.
Pow	the exponentiation (`^`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation.
Unm	the negation (unary `-`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation.
Idiv	the floor division (`//`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation.
Band	the bitwise AND (`&`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation, except that Lua will try a metamethod if any operand is neither an integer nor a value coercible to an integer (see §3.4.3).
Bor	the bitwise OR (`\|`) operation. Behavior similar to the bitwise AND operation.
Bxor	the bitwise exclusive OR (binary `~`) operation. Behavior similar to the bitwise AND operation.
Bnot	the bitwise NOT (unary `~`) operation. Behavior similar to the bitwise AND operation.
Shl	the bitwise left shift (`<<`) operation. Behavior similar to the bitwise AND operation.
Shr	the bitwise right shift (`>>`) operation. Behavior similar to the bitwise AND operation.
Concat	the concatenation (`..`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation, except that Lua will try a metamethod if any operand is neither a string nor a number (which is always coercible to a string).
Len	the length (`#`) operation. If the object is not a string, Lua will try its metamethod. If there is a metamethod, Lua calls it with the object as argument, and the result of the call (always adjusted to one value) is the result of the operation. If there is no metamethod but the object is a table, then Lua uses the table length operation (see §3.4.7). Otherwise, Lua raises an error.
Eq	the equal (`==`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation, except that Lua will try a metamethod only when the values being compared are either both tables or both full userdata and they are not primitively equal. The result of the call is always converted to a boolean.
Lt	the less than (`<`) operation. Behavior similar to the addition operation, except that Lua will try a metamethod only when the values being compared are neither both numbers nor both strings. The result of the call is always converted to a boolean.
Le	the less equal (`<=`) operation. Unlike other operations, the less-equal operation can use two different events. First, Lua looks for the `__le` metamethod in both operands, like in the less than operation. If it cannot find such a metamethod, then it will try the `__lt` metamethod, assuming that a <= b is equivalent to not (b < a). As with the other comparison operators, the result is always a boolean. (This use of the `__lt` event can be removed in future versions; it is also slower than a real __le metamethod.)
Index	The indexing access operation `table[key]`. This event happens when table is not a table or when key is not present in table. The metamethod is looked up in table.
Newindex	The indexing assignment `table[key] = value`. Like the index event, this event happens when table is not a table or when key is not present in table. The metamethod is looked up in table.
Call	The call operation `func(args)`. This event happens when Lua tries to call a non-function value (that is, func is not a function). The metamethod is looked up in func. If present, the metamethod is called with func as its first argument, followed by the arguments of the original call (args). All results of the call are the result of the operation. (This is the only metamethod that allows multiple results.)
Tostring	The operation used to create a string representation of the object.
Pairs	the operation of iterating over the object's key-value pairs.
CustomOperation Name	a custom operation, with the metamethod name as parameter.
