Moon

WIP

Library to map data, functions and classes between C++ and Lua scripting language. With simple static methods to avoid the need for a constructed object. Still in current development. Performance still needs to be measured and improved.

Getting started

To get started with Moon simply download and include the single header file in your project. Moon needs a C++ 17 compiler and Lua. If you don't want to handle the hassle of including Lua yourself, Moon does that for you via CMake. Add it as a sub directory to your project and link it with your binary. If Moon can't find Lua in your system, it will download it and compile it.

Example

#include <moon/moon.h>

int main() {
    Moon::Init();
    
    Moon::Push(true);
    auto b = Moon::Get<bool>(-1);
    Moon::Pop();
        
    Moon::RegisterFunction("TestVec", [](std::vector<std::string> vec) { return vec; });
    Moon::RunCode("local passed = TestVec({'passed', 'failed', 'other'})[1]; assert(passed == 'passed')");
    
    Moon::CloseState();
}

Documentation

As soon as a pseudo stable version arises... In the meantime, if you want to use the lib, check the examples of the test cases.
