Module:LuaCall
Module documentation | This module is rated as alpha. It is ready for third-party input, and may be used on a few pages to see if problems arise, but should be watched. Suggestions for new features or changes in their input and output mechanisms are welcome. |
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_returnsets 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.

Call
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,
because the second value is lacking. No effort is made to trap these.
local p={}
function p.main(frame)
local parent=frame.getParent(frame) or {}
local reserved_value={}
local reserved_function,reserved_contents
for k,v in pairs(parent.args or {}) do
_G[k]=tonumber(v) or v -- transfer every parameter directly to the global variable table
end

_G[k]=tonumber(v) or v -- transfer every parameter directly to the global variable table
end
--- Alas Scribunto does NOT implement coroutines, according to

--- this will not stop us from trying to implement one single lousy function call

-- 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,
-- {{#invoke:LuaCall|call|mw.ustring.codepoint|{{#invoke:LuaCall|call|mw.ustring.char|0x0061}}}} return 97
