# demoon

You love Lua but the runtime API is very weak and you don't want to handle and learn a lot of different luarock libraries? You came at the right place! This project aims to offer the bests of **Lua** and **NodeJS** together.

> Don't use this in production!

## Usage

You don't need `lua` installed to run demoon, but you need `node` and npm as well, firstly, install demoon globally:

```sh

$: npm i -g demoon

```

Then run it passing your entry lua file:

```sh

$: demoon app.lua

```

## Example

This is a little sample code to demonstrate how demoon is powerful and bridges well with nodeJS:

```lua

-- you can require node modules (package.json/node_modules works as well)

local http = require('http')

-- you can require js modules and lua files

-- require('./myjsmodule.js')

-- require('./myluamodule.lua')

local port = os.getenv('PORT') or 8080

function sleep(ms)

    -- you can use and create promises

    return Promise.create(function(resolve)

        setTimeout(resolve, ms)

    end)

end

-- top level await works!

sleep(1000):await()

http.createServer(async(function (req, res)

    -- you can await inside async bounded functions

    sleep(1000):await()

    res:write('Hello World!')

    res['end']()

end)):listen(port)

print('Your server is running on port ' .. port .. '!')

```
