# do-lua

The Lua runtime for Node.js.

## Usage

```js

const { doFile, doString } = require('do-lua');

const program = `

print("Hello, World!")

`;

doString(program).then(() => {

  console.log("Done doString");

})

doFile('examples/test1.lua').then(() => {

  console.log("Done doFile");

})

```

You cannot use `this` in functions of the passing table on `loadProgram`. Use arrow function instead of that.

```js

const { loadProgram } = require('do-lua');

const state = loadProgram(`

obj.ox = 50;

obj.mes("Hello, World!")

`);

let message = '';

const table = {

  ox: 0,

  mes: (text) => {

    message += text; // `this` cannot be used but can capture variables.

  }

};

state.setTable('obj', table);

state.run().then((G) => { // G is global table exclusive "package" and "_G"

  console.log("ox: ", G.obj.ox); // 50

  console.log("Message: ", message); // Hello, World!

});

```
