# Welcome to Resty Repl
## Features
Resty Repl is a powerful alternative to the standard [luajit](http://luajit.org/) shell ispired by [pry](https://github.com/pry/pry). It is written from scratch to provide a number of advanced features, including:
* Full read/write access to locals, upvalues and global variables
* Pretty print for objects
* A Powerful and flexible command system
* Ability to view and replay history
* Ability to see a context and source of the place in code from where repl was started
* Runtime invocation (use Resty Repl as a developer console or debugger)
* Tab completion
* Simple and easy way to debug lua running in the nginx ([openresty](http://openresty.org/en/))## Runtime invocation
First install luarock
```bash
luarocks install lua-resty-repl
```Then just drop this snippet anywhere in your code:
```lua
require('resty.repl').start()
```or run as cli:
```bash
resty-repl
```## Openresty debugger
But what makes it really nice is that now you can debug your [openresty](http://openresty.org/en/) code right from running nginx!```nginx
master_process off;
error_log stderr notice;
daemon off;events {
worker_connections 1024;
}http {
server {
listen 8080;
lua_code_cache off;location / {
content_by_lua_block {
require('resty.repl').start()
}
}
}
}
```and start debugging:
```bash
$ curl -H X-Header:buz 172.17.0.2:8080?foo=bar```
```
nginx -c /tmp/ngx.conf

```## Compatibility
Right now it's only compatible with:
- luajit
- lua5.1 (no readline)## Os Support
- GNU/Linux
- Mac OS## Roadmap
- colorized output
- smarter completion
- full readline support for lua (no ffi environments)
- remote debugger
- command for showing function source
- test suite with [resty-cli](https://github.com/openresty/resty-cli), [luajit](http://luajit.org/) and different versions of lua
- better inspect library## Code Status
