Synopsis

This library is automatically loaded by default in OpenResty 1.15.8.1. This behavior can be disabled via the lua_load_resty_core directive, but note that the use of this library is vividly recommended, as its FFI implementation is both faster, safer, and more complete than the Lua C API of the ngx_lua module.

If you are using an older version of OpenResty, you must load this library like so:

    # nginx.conf

    http {
        # you do NOT need to configure the following line when you
        # are using the OpenResty bundle 1.4.3.9+.
        lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-core/lib/?.lua;;";

        init_by_lua_block {
            require "resty.core"
            collectgarbage("collect")  -- just to collect any garbage
        }

        ...
    }

Description

This pure Lua library reimplements part of the ngx_lua module's Nginx API for Lua with LuaJIT FFI and installs the new FFI-based Lua API into the ngx.* and ndk.* namespaces used by the ngx_lua module.

In addition, this Lua library implements any significant new Lua APIs of the ngx_lua module as proper Lua modules, like ngx.semaphore and ngx.balancer.

The FFI-based Lua API can work with LuaJIT's JIT compiler. ngx_lua's default API is based on the standard Lua C API, which will never be JIT compiled and the user Lua code is always interpreted (slowly).

Support for the new ngx_stream_lua_module has also begun.

This library is shipped with the OpenResty bundle by default. So you do not really need to worry about the dependencies and requirements.

ngx.semaphore

This Lua module implements a semaphore API for efficient "light thread" synchronization, which can work across different requests (but not across nginx worker processes).

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

ngx.balancer

This Lua module implements for defining dynamic upstream balancers in Lua.

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

ngx.ssl

This Lua module provides a Lua API for controlling SSL certificates, private keys, SSL protocol versions, and etc in NGINX downstream SSL handshakes.

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

ngx.ssl.session

This Lua module provides a Lua API for manipulating SSL session data and IDs for NGINX downstream SSL connections.

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

ngx.resp

This Lua module provides Lua API which could be used to handle HTTP response.

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

Back to TOC

ngx.pipe

This module provides a Lua API to spawn processes and communicate with them in a non-blocking fashion.

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

This module was first introduced in lua-resty-core v0.1.16.

ngx.process

This Lua module is used to manage the nginx process in Lua.

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

This module was first introduced in lua-resty-core v0.1.12.

ngx.errlog

This Lua module provides Lua API to capture and manage nginx error log messages.

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

This module was first introduced in lua-resty-core v0.1.12.

Back to TOC

ngx.base64

This Lua module provides Lua API to urlsafe base64 encode/decode.

See the documentation for this Lua module for more details.

This module was first introduced in lua-resty-core v0.1.14.

Caveat

If the user Lua code is not JIT compiled, then use of this library may lead to performance drop in interpreted mode. You will only observe speedup when you get a good part of your user Lua code JIT compiled.

TODO

Re-implement ngx_lua's cosocket API with FFI.
Re-implement ngx_lua's ngx.eof and ngx.flush API functions with FFI.
