Status

======

This library is production ready.

Synopsis

========

This library is automatically loaded by default since OpenResty 1.15.8.1. This

behavior can be disabled via the

[lua_load_resty_core](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#lua_load_resty_core)

directive, but note that the use of this library is vividly recommended, as its

FFI implementation is both faster, safer, and more complete than the Lua C API

of the ngx_lua module.

If you are using an older version of OpenResty, you must load this library like

so:

```nginx

    # nginx.conf

    http {

        # you do NOT need to configure the following line when you

        # are using the OpenResty bundle 1.4.3.9+.

        lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-core/lib/?.lua;;";

        init_by_lua_block {

            require "resty.core"

            collectgarbage("collect")  -- just to collect any garbage

        }

        ...

    }

```

Description

===========

This pure Lua library reimplements part of the [ngx_lua](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#readme) module's

[Nginx API for Lua](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#nginx-api-for-lua)

with LuaJIT FFI and installs the new FFI-based Lua API into the ngx.* and ndk.* namespaces

used by the ngx_lua module.

In addition, this Lua library implements any significant new Lua APIs of

the [ngx_lua](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#readme) module

as proper Lua modules, like [ngx.semaphore](#ngxsemaphore) and [ngx.balancer](#ngxbalancer).

The FFI-based Lua API can work with LuaJIT's JIT compiler. ngx_lua's default API is based on the standard

Lua C API, which will never be JIT compiled and the user Lua code is always interpreted (slowly).

Support for the new [ngx_stream_lua_module](https://github.com/openresty/stream-lua-nginx-module) has also begun.

This library is shipped with the OpenResty bundle by default. So you do not really need to worry about the dependencies

and requirements.

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

Prerequisites

=============

**WARNING** This library is included with every OpenResty release. You should use the bundled version

of this library in the particular OpenResty release you are using. Otherwise you may run

into serious compatibility issues.

* LuaJIT 2.1 (for now, it is the v2.1 git branch in the official luajit-2.0 git repository: http://luajit.org/download.html )

* [ngx_http_lua_module](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module) v0.10.25.

* [ngx_stream_lua_module](https://github.com/openresty/stream-lua-nginx-module) v0.0.13.

* [lua-resty-lrucache](https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-lrucache)

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

Installation

============

By default, LuaJIT will search Lua files in /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/.

But `make install` will install this module to /usr/local/lib/lua.

So you may find the error like this:

```text

nginx: [alert] failed to load the 'resty.core' module

```

You can install this module with the following command to resolve the above problem.

```bash

cd lua-resty-core

sudo make install LUA_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/share/lua/5.1

```

You can also change the installation directory to any other directory you like with the LUA_LIB_DIR argument.

```bash

cd lua-resty-core

sudo make install LUA_LIB_DIR=/opt/nginx/lualib

```

After that, you need to add the above directory to the LuaJIT search direcotries with `lua_package_path` nginx directive in the http context and stream context.

```

lua_package_path "/opt/nginx/lualib/?.lua;;";

```

## get_ctx_table

**syntax:** *ctx = resty.core.ctx.get_ctx_table(ctx?)*

Similar to [ngx.ctx](#restycorectx) but it accepts an optional `ctx` argument.

It will use the `ctx` from caller instead of creating a new table

when the `ctx` table does not exist.

Notice: the `ctx` table will be used in the current request's whole life cycle.

Please be very careful when you try to reuse the `ctx` table.

You need to make sure there is no Lua code using or going to use the `ctx` table

in the current request before you reusing the `ctx` table in some other place.

Caveat

======

If the user Lua code is not JIT compiled, then use of this library may

lead to performance drop in interpreted mode. You will only observe

speedup when you get a good part of your user Lua code JIT compiled.

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

TODO

====

* Re-implement `ngx_lua`'s cosocket API with FFI.

* Re-implement `ngx_lua`'s `ngx.eof` and `ngx.flush` API functions with FFI.
