The main purpose of this module is to allow fast and simple creation of instances for @Peekable@ and @Pushable@. E.g., given a data type Person > data Person = Person { name :: String, age :: Int } > deriving (Eq, Show, Typeable, Data) we can simply do > instance Lua.Peekable Person where > safePeek = safePeekAny > > instance Lua.Pushable Person where > push = pushAny The other functions can be used to exert more control over the userdata wrapping and unwrapping process. -} module Foreign.Lua.Userdata ( pushAny , pushAnyWithMetatable , toAny , toAnyWithName , peekAny , ensureUserdataMetatable , metatableName ) where import Control.Monad (when) import Data.Data (Data, dataTypeName, dataTypeOf) import Foreign.C (withCString) import Foreign.Lua.Core (Lua) import Foreign.Lua.Core.Types (liftLua, fromLuaBool) import Foreign.Lua.Raw.Userdata ( hslua_fromuserdata , hslua_newhsuserdata , hslua_newudmetatable ) import Foreign.Lua.Types.Peekable (reportValueOnFailure) import qualified Foreign.Lua.Core as Lua -- | Push data by wrapping it into a userdata object. pushAny :: Data a => a -> Lua () pushAny x = let name = metatableName x pushMetatable = ensureUserdataMetatable name (return ()) in pushAnyWithMetatable pushMetatable x -- | Push data by wrapping it into a userdata object, using the object at the -- top of the stack after performing the given operation as metatable. pushAnyWithMetatable :: Lua () -- ^ operation to push the metatable -> a -- ^ object to push to Lua. -> Lua () pushAnyWithMetatable mtOp x = do liftLua $ \l -> hslua_newhsuserdata l x mtOp Lua.setmetatable (Lua.nthFromTop 2) return () -- | Push the metatable used to define the behavior of the given value in Lua. -- The table will be created if it doesn't exist yet. ensureUserdataMetatable :: String -- ^ name of the registered -- metatable which should be used. -> Lua () -- ^ set additional properties; this -- operation will be called with the newly -- created metadata table at the top of -- the stack. -> Lua () ensureUserdataMetatable name modMt = do mtCreated <- liftLua $ \l -> fromLuaBool <$> withCString name (hslua_newudmetatable l) -- Execute additional modifications on metatable when mtCreated modMt -- | Retrieve data which has been pushed with @'pushAny'@. toAny :: Data a => Lua.StackIndex -> Lua (Maybe a) toAny idx = toAny' undefined where toAny' :: Data a => a -> Lua (Maybe a) toAny' x = toAnyWithName idx (metatableName x) -- | Retrieve data which has been pushed with @'pushAnyWithMetatable'@, where -- *name* must is the value of the @__name@ field of the metatable. toAnyWithName :: Lua.StackIndex -> String -- ^ expected metatable name -> Lua (Maybe a) toAnyWithName idx name = liftLua $ \l -> withCString name (hslua_fromuserdata l idx) -- | Retrieve Haskell data which was pushed to Lua as userdata. peekAny :: Data a => Lua.StackIndex -> Lua a peekAny idx = peek' undefined where peek' :: Data a => a -> Lua a peek' x = reportValueOnFailure (dataTypeName (dataTypeOf x)) toAny idx -- | Return the default name for userdata to be used when wrapping an object as -- the given type as userdata.
