Setup

1. Download wax http://github.com/probablycorey/wax

2. From the inside the wax folder type rake install. This will install an xcode project template.

3. Open up xcode and create a new Wax project, it should be located under the User Tempates section.

4. Build and Run! You've got lua running on the iPhone!

5. Check MobileOrchard.com's Wax tutorial!

Example

Simple UITableViewController Example

waxClass{"BasicTableViewController", "UITableViewController", protocols = {"UITableViewDelegate", "UITableViewDataSource"}}

function init(self)
  self.super:init()
  self.states = {"Michigan", "California", "New York", "Illinois", "Minnesota", "Florida"}
  return self
end

function viewDidLoad(self)
  self:tableView():setDataSource(self)
  self:tableView():setDelegate(self)
end

-- DataSource
-------------
function numberOfSectionsInTableView(self, tableView)
  return 1
end

function tableView_numberOfRowsInSection(self, tableView, section)
  return #self.states
end

function tableView_cellForRowAtIndexPath(self, tableView, indexPath)  
  local identifier = "BasicableViewCell"
  local cell = tableView:dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(identifier)
  cell = cell or UI.TableViewCell:initWithStyle_reuseIdentifier(UITableViewCellStyleDefault, identifier)  

  cell:setText(self.states[indexPath:row() + 1]) -- Must +1 because lua arrays are 1 based

  return cell
end

-- Delegate
-----------
function tableView_didSelectRowAtIndexPath(self, tableView, indexPath)
  self:tableView():deselectRowAtIndexPath_animated(indexPath, true)
  -- Do something cool here!
end
