# slua
Fastest lua binding via static code generating for Unity3D or mono

Website: http://www.slua.net

slua for Unreal https://github.com/Tencent/sluaunreal

## Continuous Integration Build

| Build | Platform | Type    | Status  |
| ---   | ---      | ---     | ---     |
| *slua-unity* | None | None | None |
| **slua-standalone** | Linux   | Test,Build | [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mr-kelly/slua.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/mr-kelly/slua) |
| **slua-standalone** | Windows | Test,Build,Deploy | [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/vokwhnu95lx5e8g3?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mr-kelly/slua) |

## Release Download

- [slua-unity](https://github.com/pangweiwei/slua/releases/latest)
- [slua-standalone](https://www.nuget.org/packages/slua-standalone)

## Integrate with 3rd Lua Library

Standard slua release doesn't contains any 3rd Lua library(like protobuf, lpeg etc), if you want to use this library, can visit this forked repo https://github.com/luzexi/slua, it focus slua on integrate with other 3rd library.

## Use SLua without Unity3D

You can use slua without Unity3D dependency, it call **slua-standalone**. Useful for C# server development. Find it on https://www.nuget.org/packages/slua-standalone , and it's maintained by https://github.com/mr-kelly/slua.

## Framework with slua

You can use this framework to start your project.

This repo https://github.com/lwkl/xproject universal loading framework using slua load lua byte code in all platform.

This repo http://linkcloud.github.io/ poker game using slua.

This repo https://github.com/mr-kelly/KSFramework based on slua for hot reloadable asset bundle framework.

This repo https://github.com/lulersoft/ME_SLua based on slua for simple game framework.

This repo https://github.com/yaukeywang/2DPlatformer-SLua demonstrate 2DPlatformer game using slua.

This repo https://github.com/tenvick/hugula demonstrate Tetris game using slua.

## Help

See inner demo for help or [Document](https://github.com/pangweiwei/slua/wiki) (in chinese).

## Important

For running demo sucessful, you should generate lua wrap file by your self:

Click menu, SLua->All->Make  generate all wrap file for your version of unity.

***Had tested for Unity4.6.1/4.6.2/4.6.3/5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5***

## Main feature

- static code generating, no reflection, no extra gc alloc, very fast
- remote debugger
- full support iOS/iOS64, support il2cpp
- above 90% UnityEngine interface exported ( remove flash, platform dependented interface )
- 100% UnityEngine.UI interface ( require Unity4.6+ )
- support standalone mode in .net framework/mono without Unity3D
- support UnityEvent/UnityAction for event callback via lua function
- support delegate via lua function (include iOS)
- support yield call
- support custom class exported
- support extension method
- export enum as integer
- return array as lua table
- using raw luajit, can be replaced with lua5.3/lua5.1

## Usage

copy Assets/Plugins Assets/Slua to your $Project$/Assets folder, you will see Slua menu,

click Unity->Make UnityEngine, regenerate UnityEngine interface for lua

click Unity->Make UI, regenerate UnityEngine.UI interface for lua

click Custom->Make, generate custom class interface for lua

Clear custom, delete all generated custom interface

Slua/LuaObject contain pre-generated file for exported interface.

Precompiled slua library in Plugins only included x86(32bit)/macosx(32bit)/iOS(armv7,armv7s,arm64)/Android(armv7-a) platform using luajit, you should compile other platform/lua5.1/luajit by yourself, see build.txt for help.

## Usage at a glance

~~~~~~~~~~lua

-- import
import "UnityEngine"

function main()

-- create gameobject
	local cube = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(UnityEngine.PrimitiveType.Cube)

-- find gameobject
	local go = GameObject.Find("Canvas/Button")
	
	-- get component by type name
	local btn = go:GetComponent("Button")
	
	-- get out parameter
	local ok,hitinfo = Physics.Raycast(Vector3(0,0,0),Vector3(0,0,1),Slua.out)
	print("Physics Hitinfo",ok,hitinfo)
	
	-- foreach enumeratable object
	for t in Slua.iter(Canvas.transform) do
		print("foreach transorm",t)
	end
	
	-- add event listener
	btn.onClick:AddListener(function()
		local go = GameObject.Find("Canvas/Text")
		local label = go:GetComponent("Text")
		label.text="hello world"
	end)
	
	-- use vector3
	local pos = Vector3(10,10,10)+Vector3(1,1,1)
	cube.transform.position = pos
	
	-- use coroutine
	local c=coroutine.create(function()
		print "coroutine start"

Yield(WaitForSeconds(2))
		print "coroutine WaitForSeconds 2"

local www = WWW("http://www.sineysoft.com")
		Yield(www)
		print(#Slua.ToString(www.bytes))
	end)
	coroutine.resume(c)

-- add delegate
	Deleg.daction = {"+=",self.actionD} --it's ok for iOS
	
	-- remove delegate
	Deleg.daction = {"-=",self.actionD} --it's ok for iOS
	
	-- set delegate
	Deleg.daction = function() print("callback") end --it's ok for iOS
	
	-- remove all
	Deleg.daction = nil
end

~~~~~~~~~~

## Export custom class

add CustomLuaClass attribute to your custom class, waiting for compile completed, click "SLua->Custom->Make", you will get interface file for lua.

~~~~~~~~~~c#

[CustomLuaClass]
public class HelloWorld   {

}

~~~~~~~~~~

### Benchmark

compared with ulua/raw mono.

**with luajit**

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pangweiwei/slua/master/benchmark.png)

unit is secend, run 200k times / test, more smarller more better.
