What is luajls?
luajls is a set of Lua modules for developing stand-alone Lua applications.
The modules provide general-purpose functions such as class definition and promise, to operating system abstractions such as file system and network access. The modules support asynchronous I/O based on event loops.
The main targeted OSes are Linux and Windows. The only required dependency is Lua 5.4 Other dependencies are Lua native modules such as lfs, luasocket, luv, lua-openssl, lua-cjson.
What are the features?
The following packages are available.
- File system manipulation, file I/O, stream handlers, pipe, serial
- Base classes including class definition, module loading, promises, logging, event loop, process, thread
- Network classes including TCP and UDP socket, HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket client and server
- Utility classes for date and time, JSON format, hash functions, deflate, gzip, tar, zip file and WebView
What does it look like?
The following is the hello world HTTP server script.
local event = require('jls.lang.event')
local HttpServer = require('jls.net.http.HttpServer')
local hostname, port = '::', 3001
local httpServer = HttpServer:new()
httpServer:bind(hostname, port):next(function()
print('Server bound to "'..hostname..'" on port '..tostring(port))
end)
httpServer:createContext('/', function(httpExchange)
local response = httpExchange:getResponse()
response:setBody([[<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>It works !</p>
</body>
</html>
]])
end
)
event:loop()
