public class StringLib
extends TwoArgFunction

Subclass of LibFunction which implements the lua standard string library.

Typically, this library is included as part of a call to either JsePlatform.standardGlobals() or JmePlatform.standardGlobals()

 Globals globals = JsePlatform.standardGlobals();
 System.out.println( globals.get("string").get("upper").call( LuaValue.valueOf("abcde") ) );
  

To instantiate and use it directly, link it into your globals table via LuaValue.load(LuaValue) using code such as:

 Globals globals = new Globals();
 globals.load(new JseBaseLib());
 globals.load(new PackageLib());
 globals.load(new StringLib());
 System.out.println( globals.get("string").get("upper").call( LuaValue.valueOf("abcde") ) );
  

This is a direct port of the corresponding library in C.

Constructor Summary

StringLib()
Construct a StringLib, which can be initialized by calling it with a modname string, and a global environment table as arguments using call(LuaValue, LuaValue).

Method Summary

LuaValue

call(LuaValue modname, LuaValue env) Perform one-time initialization on the library by creating a table containing the library functions, adding that table to the supplied environment, adding the table to package.loaded, and returning table as the return value.

Constructor Detail

StringLib

public StringLib()

Construct a StringLib, which can be initialized by calling it with a modname string, and a global environment table as arguments using call(LuaValue, LuaValue).

Method Detail

call

public LuaValue call(LuaValue modname,
                     LuaValue env)

Perform one-time initialization on the library by creating a table containing the library functions, adding that table to the supplied environment, adding the table to package.loaded, and returning table as the return value. Creates a metatable that uses __INDEX to fall back on itself to support string method operations. If the shared strings metatable instance is null, will set the metatable as the global shared metatable for strings.

All tables and metatables are read-write by default so if this will be used in a server environment, sandboxing should be used. In particular, the LuaString.s_metatable table should probably be made read-only.

Specified by:

call in class TwoArgFunction

Parameters:

modname - the module name supplied if this is loaded via 'require'.

env - the environment to load into, typically a Globals instance.

Returns:

First return value (this(arg1,arg2)), or LuaValue.NIL if there were none.
