Auto load lua modules

Automatic loading of files as looped modules. For example, calling call.module1.submodule2.submodule3:anyfunc() will load the following files automatically:

• module1.lua -> create table call.module1
• module1/submodule2.lua -> create table call.module1.submodule2
• module1/submodule2/submodule3.lua - create table call.module1.submodule2.submodule3 and return result from anyfunc()

Install

1. luarocks

luarocks install call

2. copy file to your project

make install

Example for kamailio (install from luarocks)

call = require("call")
call:path('/etc/kamailio/modules/');
call:reload()

function ksr_request_route()
    call.mymodule:myfunc(params)
    call.mymodule.mysubmodule:myfunc(param)
end

Example for kamailio (install manually)

call = dofile("/etc/kamailio/modules/call.lua")
call:path('/etc/kamailio/modules/');
call:reload()

function ksr_request_route()
    call.mymodule:myfunc(params)
    call.mymodule.mysubmodule:myfunc(param)
end

Write own modules

Create dir /etc/kamailio/modules and create file /etc/kamailio/modules/mymodule.lua

local mymodule = call:_metatable()

function mymodule:myfunc(a)
    return 1
end

function mymodule:undefined(a)
    return 1
end

Write own sub modules (with unlimited looping in the directories)

Create dir /etc/kamailio/modules/mymodule and create file /etc/kamailio/modules/mymodule/mysubmodule.lua

local mysubmodule = call:_metatable()

function mysubmodule:myfunc(a)
    return 1
end

function mysubmodule:undefined(a)
    return 1
end

Or you can see to test dir - with unlimited looping in the directories

Run tests

make test

Create new version

make createversion

Functions

path("./dir...")

Set path where modules stored

path()

Get path where modules stored

reload()

Clean loaded modules. And runs one complete cycle of garbage collection. Usage when reload kamailio.

_metatable()

Create and return empty module

local foo = call:_metatable()

or

local baa = {}
baa = call:_metatable(baa)

_help()

Print author and version

_version(p)

Get version. When p ~= nil then print to stdout

_getmem(p)

Get or print memory usage in kBytes. When p ~= nil then print to stdout
