AURORA

A Lua function library to fill your tool set.

• On demand method loader
• Missing Lua functions implemented from other languages
• Some abstraction over tiny and very useful 3rd party code

Basics

On Demand method loader

On your/awful/proj/init.lua put just this:

	require('lunar')
	ondemand('my.awful.proj')

And just create a bunch of files inside your/awful/proj folder, like... hmmm... implode.lua

	return function(t,glue) 
		return table.concat(t,glue)
	end

Now, in your works you just require "your.awful.proj" and use any of the files inside your proj folder, like this:

	local p = require("your.awful.proj")
	p.concat({'just this'},'-')

Templating

Templating system is prepared for use with Lua 5.3.3. Can handle different instances with different configurations, and with a sandboxed environment to control what can be accomplished from inside template.

local t = require('lunar.template'):new({
	conf = {
		cache = true, -- stores compiled templates,
		compilePath = './cached/', -- where find compiled ones,
		templatePath = './tpl/', -- where find templates,
	}
})

local html = t:render('index.html', { t = "title", c="content" })
print html;

Example index.html

<h1>{%= t %}</h1>
{% if c then %}
	<p>{%= c %}</p>
{% end %}
<footer>{%include: footer.html %}</footer>

3rd party credit

Below, a list with 3rd party snippets mixed in Aurora code. Some of these were changed and adapted.

• Template: build upon SLT (https://github.com/henix/slt2)
• HTTP Server: using Pegasus
