Classes

Sometimes it can be usefull to have a class

To make a class just add the @OpmodeLoaderFunction annotation to all of the functions you want that object to have.

class ExampleClass
{
    @OpmodeLoaderFunction
    public void thing1() { ... }
    @OpmodeLoaderFunction
    public void thing2() { ... }
    @OpmodeLoaderFunction
    public void thing3() { ... }
    @OpmodeLoaderFunction
    public void thing4() { ... }
    @OpmodeLoaderFunction
    public void thing5() { ... }
}

Then call addClassAsClass() on the function builder object to add it.

FunctionBuilder builder;
builder.addClassAsClass(ExampleClass.class);

Note that you have to make a global function in order to get an instance of the class.

local object = getExampleClass(); -- get an instance of the object
object:thing1(); -- call a function on it
object:thing4(); -- call another function on it

If you want the class functions to return a refrence to self then you can use the @OpmodeLoaderBuilderFunction annotation instead of the @OpmodeLoaderFunctionAnnotation.

class ExampleClass
{
    @OpmodeLoaderBuilderFunction
    public void thing1() { ... }
    @OpmodeLoaderFunction
    public void thing2() { ... }
}

local object = getExampleClass();
object:thing1() -- call the builder function
  :thing2(); -- call another function
