rust-lua

This library is a high-level binding for Lua. You don't have access to the Lua stack, all you can do is read and write variables.

How to compile?

rustc src/lib.rs

How to use it?

let mut lua = Lua::new();     // mutable is mandatory
lua.set("x", 2);
lua.execute("x = x + 1");
let x = lua.get("x").unwrap();  // return 3

Documentation

Reading and writing variables

let mut lua = Lua::new();
lua.set("x", 5);
lua.execute("x = x + 2;");
let x = lua.get("x").unwrap();

Reading and writing global variables of the Lua context can be done with set and get. The get function returns an Option<T>

The types that can be read and written are: int, std::string::String, ... (TODO)
