LuaToJS - Translate lua syntax to js
remixer-dec.github.io/LuaToJS/
Experimental project created to simplify translation of Lua code to JS.
What's the difference between this project and some similar like lua2js?
This one works without NodeJS, (in browser) and not uses abstraction (like usage of functions to get the value of a table). You get similar to the original code but with some limitations.
What are these limitations?
- Every function must have a return statement in the end.
- Every reserved keyword will be replaced even if it's inside a string or is a function name.
What is unimplemented yet or not working?
- metatables
- native functions
- constants
- 1 line functions
- multiple returns
- prints with and without brackets
- tables with unusual indexes
-
functions inside tables, created after a tables (like function a.b()) - array / object concatenation
- inheritance
- __index
- dofile/require/loadstring/loadfile
-
multiple variable assignment
