Create a Module from an AST
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
{{#include ../../links.md}}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
`Module::eval_ast_as_new`
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish info.side.wide "Encapsulated environment"
|
||||
|
||||
`Module::eval_ast_as_new` encapsulates the entire [`AST`] into each function call, merging the
|
||||
[module namespace][function namespace] with the [global namespace][function namespace].
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, [functions] defined within the same [module] script can cross-call each other.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish info.side.wide "See also"
|
||||
|
||||
See [_Export Variables, Functions and Sub-Modules from Script_][`export`] for details on how to prepare
|
||||
a Rhai script for this purpose as well as to control which [functions]/[variables] to export.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A [module] can be created from a single script (or pre-compiled [`AST`]) containing global
|
||||
[variables], [functions] and [sub-modules][module] via `Module::eval_ast_as_new`.
|
||||
|
||||
When given an [`AST`], it is first evaluated (usually to [import][`import`] [modules] and set up global
|
||||
[constants] used by [functions]), then the following items are exposed as members of the new [module]:
|
||||
|
||||
* global [variables] and [constants] – all [variables] and [constants] exported via the
|
||||
[`export`] statement (those not exported remain hidden),
|
||||
|
||||
* [functions] not specifically marked [`private`],
|
||||
|
||||
* imported [modules] that remain in the [`Scope`] at the end of a script run become sub-modules.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Examples
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget the [`export`] statement, otherwise there will be no [variables] exposed by the
|
||||
[module] other than non-[`private`] [functions] (unless that's intentional).
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use rhai::{Engine, Module};
|
||||
|
||||
let engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
|
||||
// Compile a script into an 'AST'
|
||||
let ast = engine.compile(
|
||||
r#"
|
||||
// Functions become module functions
|
||||
fn calc(x) {
|
||||
x + add_len(x, 1) // functions within the same module
|
||||
// can always cross-call each other!
|
||||
}
|
||||
fn add_len(x, y) {
|
||||
x + y.len
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Imported modules become sub-modules
|
||||
import "another module" as extra;
|
||||
|
||||
// Variables defined at global level can become module variables
|
||||
const x = 123;
|
||||
let foo = 41;
|
||||
let hello;
|
||||
|
||||
// Variable values become constant module variable values
|
||||
foo = calc(foo);
|
||||
hello = `hello, ${foo} worlds!`;
|
||||
|
||||
// Finally, export the variables and modules
|
||||
export x as abc; // aliased variable name
|
||||
export foo;
|
||||
export hello;
|
||||
"#)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Convert the 'AST' into a module, using the 'Engine' to evaluate it first
|
||||
// A copy of the entire 'AST' is encapsulated into each function,
|
||||
// allowing functions in the module script to cross-call each other.
|
||||
let module = Module::eval_ast_as_new(Scope::new(), &ast, &engine)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// 'module' now contains:
|
||||
// - sub-module: 'extra'
|
||||
// - functions: 'calc', 'add_len'
|
||||
// - constants: 'abc' (renamed from 'x'), 'foo', 'hello'
|
||||

Create a Module in Rust
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
{{#include ../../links.md}}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Easy Way – Plugin
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
By far the simplest way to create a [module] is via a [plugin module]
|
||||
which converts a normal Rust module into a Rhai [module] via procedural macros.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Hard Way – `Module` API
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Manually creating a [module] is possible via the [`Module`] public API, which is volatile and may
|
||||
change from time to time.
|
||||
|
||||
~~~admonish info.small "`Module` public API"
|
||||
|
||||
For the complete [`Module`] public API, refer to the
|
||||
[documentation](https://docs.rs/rhai/{{version}}/rhai/struct.Module.html) online.

Modules
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
{{#include ../../links.md}}
|
||||
|
||||
Rhai allows organizing functionalities ([functions], both Rust-based and scripted, and
|
||||
[variables]) into independent _modules_.
|
||||
|
||||
A module has the type `rhai::Module` and holds a collection of [functions], [variables], [type
|
||||
iterators] and sub-modules.
|
||||
|
||||
It may contain entirely Rust functions, or it may encapsulate a Rhai script together with
|
||||
all the [functions] and [variables] defined by that script.
|
||||
|
||||
Other scripts then load this module and use the [functions] and [variables] [exported][`export`].
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, modules can be registered directly into an [`Engine`] and made available to scripts,
|
||||
either globally or under individual static module [_namespaces_][function namespaces].
|
||||
|
||||
Modules can be disabled via the [`no_module`] feature.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Usage Patterns
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
| Usage | API | Lookup | Sub-modules? | Variables? |
|
||||
| -------------- | :-------------------------------: | :----------------------: | :----------: | :--------: |
|
||||
| Global module | `Engine:: register_global_module` | simple name | ignored | yes |
|
||||
| Static module | `Engine:: register_static_module` | namespace-qualified name | yes | yes |
|
||||
| Dynamic module | [`import`] statement | namespace-qualified name | yes | yes |

Built-in Module Resolvers
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
{{#include ../../../links.md}}
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of standard [module resolvers] built into Rhai, the default being the
|
||||
[`FileModuleResolver`](file.md) which simply loads a script file based on the path (with `.rhai`
|
||||
extension attached) and execute it to form a [module].
|
||||
|
||||
Built-in [module resolvers] are grouped under the `rhai::module_resolvers` module.

|

Implement a Custom Module Resolver
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
{{#include ../../../links.md}}
|
||||
|
||||
For many applications in which Rhai is embedded, it is necessary to customize the way that [modules]
|
||||
are resolved. For instance, [modules] may need to be loaded from script texts stored in a database,
|
||||
not in the file system.
|
||||
|
||||
A module resolver must implement the [`ModuleResolver`][traits] trait, which contains only one
|
||||
required function: `resolve`.
|
||||
|
||||
When Rhai prepares to load a module, `ModuleResolver::resolve` is called with the name
|
||||
of the _module path_ (i.e. the path specified in the [`import`] statement).
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish success
|
||||
Upon success, it should return a shared [module] wrapped by `Rc` (or `Arc` under [`sync`]).
|
||||
|
||||
The module resolver should call `Module::build_index` on the target [module] before returning it.
|
||||
* This method flattens the entire module tree and _indexes_ it for fast function name resolution.
|
||||
* If the module is already indexed, calling this method has no effect.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish failure
|
||||
|
||||
* If the path does not resolve to a valid module, return `EvalAltResult::ErrorModuleNotFound`.
|
||||
|
||||
* If the module failed to load, return `EvalAltResult::ErrorInModule`.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example of a Custom Module Resolver
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use rhai::{ModuleResolver, Module, Engine, EvalAltResult};
|
||||
|
||||
// Define a custom module resolver.
|
||||
struct MyModuleResolver {}
|
||||
|
||||
// Implement the 'ModuleResolver' trait.
|
||||
impl ModuleResolver for MyModuleResolver {
|
||||
// Only required function.
|
||||
fn resolve(
|
||||
&self,
|
||||
engine: &Engine, // reference to the current 'Engine'
|
||||
source_path: Option<&str>, // path of the parent module
|
||||
path: &str, // the module path
|
||||
pos: Position, // position of the 'import' statement
|
||||
) -> Result<Rc<Module>, Box<EvalAltResult>> {
|
||||
// Check module path.
|
||||
if is_valid_module_path(path) {
|
||||
// Load the custom module
|
||||
match load_secret_module(path) {
|
||||
Ok(my_module) => {
|
||||
my_module.build_index(); // index it
|
||||
Rc::new(my_module) // make it shared
|
||||
},
|
||||
// Return 'EvalAltResult::ErrorInModule' upon loading error
|
||||
Err(err) => Err(EvalAltResult::ErrorInModule(path.into(), Box::new(err), pos).into())
|
||||
}
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Return 'EvalAltResult::ErrorModuleNotFound' if the path is invalid
|
||||
Err(EvalAltResult::ErrorModuleNotFound(path.into(), pos).into())
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
|
||||
// Set the custom module resolver into the 'Engine'.
|
||||
engine.set_module_resolver(MyModuleResolver {});
|
||||
|
||||
engine.run(
|
||||
r#"
|
||||
import "hello" as foo; // this 'import' statement will call
|
||||
// 'MyModuleResolver::resolve' with "hello" as 'path'
|
||||
foo:bar();
|
||||
"#)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced – `ModuleResolver::resolve_ast`
|
||||
----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There is another function in the [`ModuleResolver`][traits] trait, `resolve_ast`, which is a
|
||||
low-level API intended for advanced usage scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
`ModuleResolver::resolve_ast` has a default implementation that simply returns `None`,
|
||||
which indicates that this API is not supported by the [module resolver].
|
||||
|
||||
Any [module resolver] that serves [modules] based on Rhai scripts should implement
|
||||
`ModuleResolver::resolve_ast`. When called, the compiled [`AST`] of the script should be returned.
|
||||
|
||||
`ModuleResolver::resolve_ast` should not return an error if `ModuleResolver::resolve` will not.
|
||||
On the other hand, the same error should be returned if `ModuleResolver::resolve` will return one.

`DylibModuleResolver`
|

=====================

{{#include ../../../links.md}}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
~~~admonish warning.small "Requires external crate `rhai-dylib`"
|
||||
|
||||
`DylibModuleResolver` resides in the [`rhai-dylib`] crate which must be specified
|
||||
as a dependency:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[dependencies]
|
||||
rhai-dylib = { version = "0.1" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish danger.small "Linux or Windows only"
|
||||
|
||||
[`rhai-dylib`] currently supports only Linux and Windows.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Parallel to how the [`FileModuleResolver`](file.md) works, `DylibModuleResolver` loads external
|
||||
native Rust [modules] from compiled _dynamic shared libraries_ (e.g. `.so` in Linux and `.dll` in
|
||||
Windows).
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, [`FileModuleResolver`](file.md`) loads Rhai script files while `DylibModuleResolver`
|
||||
loads native Rust shared libraries. It is very common to have the two work together.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Example
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use rhai::{Engine, Module};

use rhai::module_resolvers::{FileModuleResolver, ModuleResolversCollection};
|

use rhai_dylib::module_resolvers::DylibModuleResolver;

let mut engine = Engine::new();

// Use a module resolvers collection
|

let mut resolvers = ModuleResolversCollection::new();

// First search for script files in the file system
|

resolvers += FileModuleResolver::new();
|
||||
|
||||
// Then search for shared-library plugins in the file system
|
||||
resolvers += DylibModuleResolver::new();
|

// Set the module resolver into the engine

engine.set_module_resolver(resolvers);

`FileModuleResolver`
|
||||
====================

```admonish abstract.small "Default"
|

`FileModuleResolver` is the default for [`Engine::new`][`Engine`].
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The _default_ [module] resolution service, not available for [`no_std`] or [WASM] builds.
|
||||
Loads a script file (based off the current directory or a specified one) with `.rhai` extension.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Function Namespace
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
All functions in the [_global_ namespace][function namespace], plus all those defined in the same
|
||||
[module], are _merged_ into a _unified_ [namespace][function namespace].
|
||||
|
||||
All [modules] imported at _global_ level via [`import`] statements become sub-[modules],
|
||||
which are also available to [functions] defined within the same script file.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Base Directory
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish tip.side.wide "Tip: Default"
|
||||
|
||||
If the base directory is not set, then relative paths are based off the directory of the loading script.
|
||||
|
||||
This allows scripts to simply cross-load each other.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_Relative_ paths are resolved relative to a _root_ directory, which is usually the base directory.
|
||||
|
||||
The base directory can be set via `FileModuleResolver::new_with_path` or
|
||||
`FileModuleResolver::set_base_path`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Custom [`Scope`]
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish tip.side.wide "Tip"
|
||||
|
||||
This [`Scope`] can conveniently hold global [constants] etc.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `set_scope` method adds an optional [`Scope`] which will be used to [optimize][script optimization] [module] scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Caching
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish tip.side.wide "Tip: Enable/disable caching"
|
||||
|
||||
Use `enable_cache` to enable/disable the cache.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, [modules] are also _cached_ so a script file is only evaluated _once_, even when
|
||||
repeatedly imported.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Unix Shebangs
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
On Unix-like systems, the _shebang_ (`#!`) is used at the very beginning of a script file to mark a
|
||||
script with an interpreter (for Rhai this would be [`rhai-run`]({{rootUrl}}/start/bin.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
If a script file starts with `#!`, the entire first line is skipped.
|
||||
Because of this, Rhai scripts with shebangs at the beginning need no special processing.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
#!/home/to/me/bin/rhai-run
|
||||
|
||||
// This is a Rhai script
|
||||
|
||||
let answer = 42;
|
||||
print(`The answer is: ${answer}`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Example
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||

|
||||
│ my_module.rhai │
|
||||

||||

|
||||

fn greet() {
|
||||

|

|
||||
|

m::greet_main(); // prints "main here!"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Simulate Virtual Functions
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When calling a namespace-qualified [function] defined within a [module], other [functions] defined
|
||||
within the same module override any similar-named [functions] (with the same number of parameters)
|
||||
defined in the [global namespace][function namespace].
|
||||
|
||||
This is to ensure that a [module] acts as a self-contained unit and [functions] defined in the
|
||||
calling script do not override [module] code.
|
||||
|
||||
In some situations, however, it is actually beneficial to do it in reverse: have [module] [functions] call
|
||||
[functions] defined in the calling script (i.e. in the [global namespace][function namespace]) if
|
||||
they exist, and only call those defined in the [module] if none are found.
|
||||
|
||||
One such situation is the need to provide a _default implementation_ to a simulated _virtual_ function:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
┌────────────────┐
|
||||
│ my_module.rhai │
|
||||
└────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
// Do not do this (it will override the main script):
|
||||
// fn message() { "hello! from module!" }
|
||||
|
||||
// This function acts as the default implementation.
|
||||
private fn default_message() { "hello! from module!" }
|
||||

Module Resolvers
|

================

See the section on [_Importing Modules_][`import`] for more details.
|

~~~
|
||||
|
||||
When encountering an [`import`] statement, Rhai attempts to _resolve_ the [module] based on the path string.
|
||||
|
||||
_Module Resolvers_ are service types that implement the [`ModuleResolver`][traits] trait.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Set into `Engine`
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
An [`Engine`]'s module resolver is set via a call to `Engine::set_module_resolver`:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use rhai::module_resolvers::{DummyModuleResolver, StaticModuleResolver};
|
||||
|
||||
// Create a module resolver
|
||||
let resolver = StaticModuleResolver::new();
|
||||
|
||||
// Register functions into 'resolver'...
|
||||
|
||||
// Use the module resolver
|
||||
engine.set_module_resolver(resolver);
|
||||
|
||||
// Effectively disable 'import' statements by setting module resolver to
|
||||
// the 'DummyModuleResolver' which acts as... well... a dummy.
|
||||
engine.set_module_resolver(DummyModuleResolver::new());
|
||||
```

Compile to a Self-Contained `AST`
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
{{#include ../../links.md}}
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish tip.side "Tip"
|
||||
|
||||
It does not matter where the [`import`] statement occurs — e.g. deep within statements blocks
|
||||
or within [function] bodies.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When a script [imports][`import`] external [modules] that may not be available later on, it is
|
||||
possible to eagerly [_pre-resolve_][module resolver] these imports and embed them directly into a
|
||||
self-contained [`AST`].
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, a system may periodically connect to a central source (e.g. a database) to load
|
||||
scripts and compile them to [`AST`] form. Afterwards, in order to conserve bandwidth (or due to
|
||||
other physical limitations), it is disconnected from the central source for self-contained
|
||||
operation.
|
||||
|
||||
Compile a script into a _self-contained_ [`AST`] via `Engine::compile_into_self_contained`.
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
|
||||
// Compile script into self-contained AST using the current
|
||||
// module resolver (default to `FileModuleResolver`) to pre-resolve
|
||||
// 'import' statements.
|
||||
let ast = engine.compile_into_self_contained(&mut scope, script)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Make sure we can no longer resolve any module!
|
||||
engine.set_module_resolver(DummyModuleResolver::new());
|
||||
|
||||
// The AST still evaluates fine, even with 'import' statements!
|
||||
engine.run(&ast)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When such an [`AST`] is evaluated, [`import`] statements within are provided the _pre-resolved_
|
||||
[modules] without going through the normal [module resolution][module resolver] process.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Only Static Paths
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
`Engine::compile_into_self_contained` only pre-resolves [`import`] statements in the script
|
||||
that are _static_, i.e. with a path that is a [string] literal.
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// The following import is pre-resolved.
|
||||
import "hello" as h;
|
||||
|
||||
if some_event() {
|
||||
// The following import is pre-resolved.
|
||||
import "hello" as h;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fn foo() {
|
||||
// The following import is pre-resolved.
|
||||
import "hello" as h;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// The following import is also pre-resolved because the expression
|
||||
// is usually optimized into a single string during compilation.
|
||||
import "he" + "llo" as h;
|
||||
|
||||
let module_name = "hello";
|
||||
|
||||
// The following import is NOT pre-resolved.
|
||||
import module_name as h;

||||
```

Make a Module Available to Scripts
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
{{#include ../../links.md}}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Use Case 1 – Make It Globally Available
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
`Engine::register_global_module` registers a shared [module] into the
|
||||
[_global_ namespace][function namespace].
|
||||
|
||||
This is by far the easiest way to expose a [module]'s functionalities to Rhai.
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish tip.small "Tip: No qualifiers"
|
||||
|
||||
All [functions], [variables]/[constants] and [type iterators] can be accessed without
|
||||
_namespace qualifiers_.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish warning.small
|
||||
|
||||
[Sub-modules][module] are **ignored**.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use rhai::{Engine, Module, FuncRegistration};
|
||||
|
||||
let mut module = Module::new(); // new module
|
||||
|
||||
// Add new function.
|
||||
FuncRegistration::new("inc")
|
||||
.with_params_info(&["x: i64", "i64"])
|
||||
.set_into_module(&mut module, |x: i64| x + 1);
|
||||
|
||||
// Use 'Module::set_var' to add variables.
|
||||
module.set_var("MYSTIC_NUMBER", 41_i64);
|
||||
|
||||
// Register the module into the global namespace of the Engine.
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
engine.register_global_module(module.into());
|
||||
|
||||
// No need to import module...
|
||||
engine.eval::<i64>("inc(MYSTIC_NUMBER)")? == 42;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Equivalent to `Engine::register_XXX`
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish question.side "Trivia"
|
||||
|
||||
`Engine::register_fn` etc. are actually implemented by adding functions to an
|
||||
internal [module]!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Registering a [module] via `Engine::register_global_module` is essentially the _same_
|
||||
as calling `Engine::register_fn` (or any of the `Engine::register_XXX` API) individually
|
||||
on each top-level function within that [module].
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// The above is essentially the same as:
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
|
||||
engine.register_fn("inc", |x: i64| x + 1);
|
||||
|
||||
engine.eval::<i64>("inc(41)")? == 42; // no need to import module
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Use Case 2 – Make It a Static Namespace
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
`Engine::register_static_module` registers a [module] and under a specific
|
||||
[module namespace][function namespace].
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use rhai::{Engine, Module, FuncRegistration};
|
||||
|
||||
let mut module = Module::new(); // new module
|
||||
|
||||
// Add new function.
|
||||
FuncRegistration::new("inc")
|
||||
.with_params_info(&["x: i64", "i64"])
|
||||
.set_into_module(&mut module, |x: i64| x + 1);
|
||||
|
||||
// Use 'Module::set_var' to add variables.
|
||||
module.set_var("MYSTIC_NUMBER", 41_i64);
|
||||
|
||||
// Register the module into the Engine as the static module namespace path
|
||||
// 'services::calc'
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
engine.register_static_module("services::calc", module.into());
|
||||
|
||||
// Refer to the 'services::calc' module...
|
||||
engine.eval::<i64>("services::calc::inc(services::calc::MYSTIC_NUMBER)")? == 42;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Expose functions to the global namespace
|
||||
|
||||
```admonish tip.side "Tip: Type iterators"
|
||||
|
||||
[Type iterators] are special — they are _always_ exposed to the
|
||||
[_global_ namespace][function namespace].
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The [`Module`] API can optionally expose functions to the [_global_ namespace][function namespace]
|
||||
by setting the `namespace` parameter to `FnNamespace::Global`.
|
||||
|
||||
This way, [getters/setters] and [indexers] for [custom types] can work as expected.
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use rhai::{Engine, Module, FuncRegistration, FnNamespace};
|
||||
|
||||
let mut module = Module::new(); // new module
|
||||
|
||||
// Add new function.
|
||||
FuncRegistration::new("inc")
|
||||
.with_params_info(&["x: i64", "i64"])
|
||||
.with_namespace(FnNamespace::Global) // <- global namespace
|
||||
.set_into_module(&mut module, |x: i64| x + 1);
|
||||
|
||||
// Use 'Module::set_var' to add variables.
|
||||
module.set_var("MYSTIC_NUMBER", 41_i64);
|
||||
|
||||
// Register the module into the Engine as a static module namespace 'calc'
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
engine.register_static_module("calc", module.into());
|
||||
|
||||
// 'inc' works when qualified by the namespace
|
||||
engine.eval::<i64>("calc::inc(calc::MYSTIC_NUMBER)")? == 42;
|
||||
|
||||
// 'inc' also works without a namespace qualifier
|
||||
// because it is exposed to the global namespace
|
||||
engine.eval::<i64>("let x = calc::MYSTIC_NUMBER; x.inc()")? == 42;
|
||||
engine.eval::<i64>("let x = calc::MYSTIC_NUMBER; inc(x)")? == 42;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Use Case 3 – Make It Dynamically Loadable
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In order to dynamically load a custom module, there must be a [module resolver] which serves
|
||||
the module when loaded via `import` statements.
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way is to use, for example, the [`StaticModuleResolver`][module resolver] to hold such
|
||||
a custom module.
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use rhai::{Engine, Scope, Module, FuncRegistration};
|
||||
use rhai::module_resolvers::StaticModuleResolver;
|
||||
|
||||
let mut module = Module::new(); // new module
|
||||
|
||||
module.set_var("answer", 41_i64); // variable 'answer' under module
|
||||
|
||||
FuncRegistration::new("inc")
|
||||
.with_params_info(&["x: i64"])
|
||||
.set_into_module(&mut module, |x: i64| x + 1);
|
||||
|
||||
// Create the module resolver
|
||||
let mut resolver = StaticModuleResolver::new();
|
||||
|
||||
// Add the module into the module resolver under the name 'question'
|
||||
// They module can then be accessed via: 'import "question" as q;'
|
||||
resolver.insert("question", module);
|
||||
|
||||
// Set the module resolver into the 'Engine'
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
engine.set_module_resolver(resolver);
|
||||
|
||||
// Use namespace-qualified variables
|
||||
engine.eval::<i64>(
|
||||
r#"
|
||||
import "question" as q;
|
||||
q::answer + 1
|
||||
"#)? == 42;
|
||||
|
||||
// Call namespace-qualified functions
|
||||
engine.eval::<i64>(
|
||||
r#"
|
||||
import "question" as q;
|
||||
q::inc(q::answer)
|
||||
"#)? == 42;
|
||||
```
