🌝 Lluna STD

This repo contains the code for the Lluna project standard library.

It contains all the modules accessible from the lluna runtime (and lua ). The modules contained in this repository porvide a lightweight interface to the system and extends the base lua library to improve user experience (see lua for more information.

Modules

🚧 this section is a work in progress.

• hashlib: hash algorithm implementations
• input: user friendly terminal inputs
• json: json implementation (originally by rxi)
• getopt: simple getopt like argument parser
• path: simple and user friendly interface to the filesystem
  • 🚧

Extensions

With lluna some extensions to the base library are provided. In the lua runtime the function defined in the extension modulex are inserted to the module table.

• tablex:
  • extend
• stringx:
  • split: reverse of table.concat
• mathx: math library extensions (loaded to math when using lluna)
  • gcd
  • clamp
  • lerp
  • wrap

Usage from lua

Although its supposed to be used with the lluna runtime, it can be simply loaded from luaJIT/lua-5.1 by adding the c and lua folders to LUA_CPATH and LUA_PATH respectively. Furthermore, if any lua script is preceded by require("lluna")() the behaviour will be exactly the same as using the lluna runtime.
