Orbit 2.2.3

http://keplerproject.github.com/orbit



Orbit is an MVC web framework for Lua. The design is inspired by lightweight

Ruby frameworks such as Camping. It completely abandons the CGILua model

of "scripts" in favor of applications, where each Orbit application can fit

in a single file, but you can split it into multiple files if you want.

All Orbit applications follow the WSAPI protocol, so they currently work with

Xavante, CGI and Fastcgi. It includes a launcher that makes it easy to launch

a Xavante instance for development.



History

* Version 2.2.3 (16/Jul/2015)

  Fixed model:save() when using Postgres. The 'id' was being set to "NULL" and that violates the primary key constraint.

  NOT 5.2 compliant



* Version 2.2.2 (10/Sep/2014)

  Added the ability to specify the offset in a model. This is useful for implimenting pagination.

  NOT 5.2 compliant

  bugfix release for Lua 5.1

  NOT 5.2 compliant

  Optional Sinatra-like (http://www.sinatrarb.com/) route parser, using LPEG

  Pluggable route parsers (route patterns can be strings or objects that answer to :match)



* Version 2.1.0 (29/Oct/2009)

  better decoupling of orbit and orbit.model

  support for anything with a match method as patterns

  new options for orbit.model finders: distinct, fields

  count option for orbit.model now limits number of rows in the SQL

  logging of queries in orbit.model

  overhaul of the "orbit" script: better options, --help, sets application path

  content_type method in the web object to set content type

  support for PUT and DELETE (methods `dispatch_put` and `dispatch_delete`)

  orbit.model.recycle(*conn_builder*, *timeout*) function, to make a connection that automatically reopens after a certain time

  more samples in the samples folder

  added a "higher-order" $if to Orbit Pages



* Version 2.0.2 (10/Mar/2009)

  url-decodes path captures (suggested by Ignacio Burgueno on a Jul 24 email to the Kepler list)

  stripping UTF-8 BOM from templates read from disk

  removing SoLazer files in order to make the Orbit package smaller

  added alternate name for integer (int)

  better error reporting for missing escape and convert functions

Download and Installation



The easiest way to download and install Orbit is via LuaRocks. You can install Orbit

with a simple command:



luarocks install orbit



Go to the path where LuaRocks put Orbit to see the sample apps and this documentation.

LuaRocks will automatically fetch and install any dependencies you don't already have.



To run the supplied example, go to the samples/hello directory

of this distribution and do:



orbit hello.lua



After the server is running go to your web browser. Some sample

urls for hello.lua:



http://127.0.0.1:8080/ will show "Hello World!"

http://127.0.0.1:8080/say/foo will show "Hello foo!"

http://127.0.0.1:8080/anythingelse will show "Not found!"
