Module:LuaCall

From MOASSpedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This module allows you to call any one single preinstalled Lua function, so that you don't need to write a module for one desired feature.

Usage

Main

{{#invoke:LuaCall|main|arbitrary variables|parameters|functioncall}}

The arbitrary variables are any key of your choice = any value of your choice. Values are interpreted as strings unless tonumber(value) isn't nil, i.e. numbers should be converted to the numeric type. No effort is made to interpret tables.

The parameters all begin with reserved_, which arbitrary variable should use.

  • reserved_return sets which output from the function you want, and defaults to 1. For example, setting it to 2 for mw.ustring.gsub will return the number of replacements made.
  • reserved_debug - nonzero value forces display of a not particularly useful debug text

The functioncall is written as some.function.name(a,b,c) where some.function.name means something in the Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual and a,b,c are the arbitrary variable names you've chosen.

Examples

Main

  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|main|a=test |b=7|string.rep(a,b)}} → test test test test test test test 
  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|main|pattern=(%a)|replace=%1.|string=I can't get no satisfaction|mw.ustring.gsub(string,pattern,replace)|reserved_return=1}} → I. c.a.n.'t. g.e.t. n.o. s.a.t.i.s.f.a.c.t.i.o.n.
  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|main|pattern=(%a)|replace=%1.|string=I can't get no satisfaction|mw.ustring.gsub(string,pattern,replace)|reserved_return=2}} → 22
  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|main|value=1.4512|math.ceil(value)}} → 2
  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|main|value=1.4512|math.modf(value)}} → 1
  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|main|value=1.4512|math.modf(value)|reserved_return=2}} → 0.4512
  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|main|mw.text.nowiki(s)|s={{URL|1=https://www.Amazon.com/}}}} → <span class="url">[https://www.Amazon.com/ www<wbr/>.amazon<wbr/>.com]</span>

Call

  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|call|string.format|%04x|127}} → 007f
  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|call|math.modf|1.4512}} → 1
  • {{#invoke:LuaCall|call|math.modf|1.4512|return=2}} → 1

Errors

The module may generate script errors — whenever your call is not valid Lua code, you see the error you would normally have. For example,

{{#invoke:LuaCall|main|value=1.4512|math.fmod(value)}} → Lua error at line 35: bad argument #2 to 'reserved_call' (number expected, got no value).

because the second value is lacking. No effort is made to trap these.

-- call
--
-- This function is usually useful for debugging template parameters.
-- Prefix parameter with backslash (\) to force interpreting parameter as string.
-- The leading backslash will be removed before passed to Lua function.
--
-- Example:
--    {{#invoke:LuaCall|call|mw.log|a|1|2|3}} will return results of mw.log('a', 1, 2, 3)
--    {{#invoke:LuaCall|call|mw.logObject|\a|321|\321| \321 }} will return results of mw.logObject('a', 321, '321', ' \\321 ')
--
-- This example show the debugging to see which Unicode characters are allowed in template parameters,
