to_lua
Serialize Ruby objects to lua tables
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'to_lua'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it manually with:
$ gem install to_lua
Usage
{a: 'hash'}.to_lua # {a="hash"}
[:some, :array].to_lua # {"some","array"}
"\nStr\"ing\x00".to_lua # "\nStr\"ing\0"
123456.to_lua # 123456
3.14159.to_lua # 3.14159
true.to_lua # true
false.to_lua # false
nil.to_lua # nilOptions
Pretty formatting
{a: 'hash', with: {a_nested: 'hash'}}.to_lua(pretty: true)
# {
# a = "hash",
# with = {
# a_nested = "hash"
# }
# }Custom indentation
{a: 'hash', with: {a_nested: 'hash'}}.to_lua(pretty: true, indent: '')
# {
# a = "hash",
# with = {
# a_nested = "hash"
# }
# }Custom objects
Custom objects can define the as_lua method. The return value will be
serialized with to_lua. Example:
class CustomObject
def as_lua
{ lua: 'object' }
end
end
CustomObject.new.to_lua # {lua="object"}If an object does not define the as_lua method, to_s will be used instead
and the object will be serialized as a string.
