Package binder allows to easily bind to Lua. Based on [gopher-lua](https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua).

## Killer-feature

You can display detailed information about the error and get something like this:

![Error](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexeyco/binder/master/Error.png)

See [_example/04-highlight-errors](https://github.com/alexeyco/binder/tree/master/_example/04-highlight-errors). And [read more](#killer-featured-errors) about it.

## Installation
```
$ go get -u github.com/alexeyco/binder
```
To run unit tests:
```
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/alexeyco/binder
$ go test -cover
```
To see why you need to bind go to lua (need few minutes):
```
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/alexeyco/binder
$ go test -bench=.
```

## Examples

### Functions
```go
package main

import (
"errors"
"log"

"github.com/alexeyco/binder"
)

func main() {
b := binder.New(binder.Options{
SkipOpenLibs: true,
})

b.Func("log", func(c *binder.Context) error {
t := c.Top()
if t == 0 {
return errors.New("need arguments")
}

l := []interface{}{}

for i := 1; i <= t; i++ {
l = append(l, c.Arg(i).Any())
}

log.Println(l...)
return nil
})

if err := b.DoString(`
log('This', 'is', 'Lua')
`); err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
}
```

### Modules
```go
package main

import (
"errors"
"log"

"github.com/alexeyco/binder"
)

func main() {
b := binder.New()

m := b.Module("reverse")
m.Func("string", func(c *binder.Context) error {
if c.Top() == 0 {
return errors.New("need arguments")
}

s := c.Arg(1).String()

runes := []rune(s)
for i, j := 0, len(runes)-1; i < j; i, j = i+1, j-1 {
runes[i], runes[j] = runes[j], runes[i]
}

c.Push().String(string(runes))
return nil
})

if err := b.DoString(`
local r = require('reverse')

print(r.string('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUFVWXYZ'))
`); err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
}

```
### Tables
```go
package main

import (
"errors"
"log"

"github.com/alexeyco/binder"
)

type Person struct {
Name string
}

func main() {
b := binder.New()

t := b.Table("person")
t.Static("new", func(c *binder.Context) error {
if c.Top() == 0 {
return errors.New("need arguments")
}
n := c.Arg(1).String()

c.Push().Data(&Person{n}, "person")
return nil
})

t.Dynamic("name", func(c *binder.Context) error {
p, ok := c.Arg(1).Data().(*Person)
if !ok {
return errors.New("person expected")
}

if c.Top() == 1 {
c.Push().String(p.Name)
} else {
p.Name = c.Arg(2).String()
}

return nil
})

if err := b.DoString(`
local p = person.new('Steeve')
print(p:name())

p:name('Alice')
print(p:name())
`); err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
}
```

### Options
```go
// Options binder options object
type Options struct {
// CallStackSize is call stack size
CallStackSize int
// RegistrySize is data stack size
RegistrySize int
// SkipOpenLibs controls whether or not libraries are opened by default
SkipOpenLibs bool
// IncludeGoStackTrace tells whether a Go stacktrace should be included in a Lua stacktrace when panics occur.
IncludeGoStackTrace bool
}
```
Read [more](https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua#miscellaneous-luanewstate-options).

For example:
```go
b := binder.New(binder.Options{
SkipOpenLibs: true,
})
```

### Killer-featured errors

```go
package main

import (
"errors"
"log"
"os"

"github.com/alexeyco/binder"
)

type Person struct {
Name string
}

func main() {
b := binder.New()

// ...

if err := b.DoString(`-- some string`); err != nil {
switch err.(type) {
case *binder.Error:
e := err.(*binder.Error)
e.Print()

os.Exit(0)
break
default:
log.Fatalln(err)
}
}
}
```

Note: if `SkipOpenLibs` is `true`, not all open libs will be skipped in contrast to the basic logic of
[gopher-lua](https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua). If you set `SkipOpenLibs` to `true`, the following
basic libraries will be loaded: all [basic functions](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.1),
[table](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.5) and [package](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.3).
