This module was written to provide a very simple wrapper for the redis library to add lua scripts as members of the prototype.
./lua/print.lua
-- all arguments passed to the function will be in the ARGV table, in order
return ARGV[1]client.js
// the scriptPath option is optional and defaults to './lua'
// it specifies what directory contains your lua scripts
// all other parameters are identical to the node_redis module
var simplelua = require('simplelua');
var client = simplelua.createClient(6379, '127.0.0.1', { scriptPath: './lua' });
// since we loaded the file print.lua, we now have client.print available
client.print('testing', function (err, reply) {
console.log(reply); // "testing"
});SimpleLua supports nested directories, as well as directory/function clashes so:
test/lua
├── basic.lua
├── company
│ └── create.lua
├── company.lua
└── user
├── create.lua
└── nested
└── mofn.lua
will have the functions:
client.basic(...)
client.company(...)
client.company.create(...)
client.user(...)
client.user.create(...)
client.user.nested.mofn(...)
This module will allow you to overwrite native redis commands and potentially completely break the module or destroy your data. Consider yourself warned.
