fb-trepl: Read-Eval-Print loop

This module implements a Read-Eval-Print loop with command line editing and pretty colorized output. It is based heavily on torch/trepl.

Colorized output is on if the output is to a terminal and off otherwise; behavior can be changed by the value of the TORCH_COLOR environment variable:

  • always enables colorized output always (even when output is not to a terminal)
  • never disable colorized output altogether

Usage: to run the default REPL:

local repl = require('fb.repl')
repl.repl()

(from the command line, try luajit -e "require('fb.repl').repl()")

You may create additional REPLs that do not share state with the main REPL (if any) -- useful if your program needs to accept arbitrary Lua input and evaluate it:

local loop = repl.make_repl()
loop()
