EncDotNet.S100.Scripting.MoonSharp

EncDotNet.S100.Scripting.MoonSharp implements the ILuaEngine and ILuaContext interfaces from EncDotNet.S100.Core with MoonSharp, a Lua 5.2 interpreter written in .NET. The S-100 Part 9A Lua portrayal (S-101, S-131, S-102 and others) runs on it. Reference it directly when you build a dataset pipeline yourself or run Lua scripts through the core interfaces.

Install

dotnet add package EncDotNet.S100.Scripting.MoonSharp

Example: run a script

using EncDotNet.S100.Scripting;
using EncDotNet.S100.Scripting.MoonSharp;

ILuaEngine engine = new MoonSharpLuaEngine();
using ILuaContext lua = engine.CreateContext();

lua.Execute("function add(a, b) return a + b end");
object? sum = lua.Call("add", 2, 3);

Main entry points

  • MoonSharpLuaEngine creates Lua contexts. Each context runs in a sandbox with no OS, IO or debug access. Modules sets the MoonSharp core modules loaded into each new context; the default is that sandboxed set.
  • ILuaContext (namespace EncDotNet.S100.Scripting) runs code, gets and sets globals, and calls functions. SetModuleLoader supplies the source for Lua require() calls, for example from a portrayal catalogue's rule files.
