lovebird
A browser-based debug console for the LÖVE framework.
Usage
Drop the lovebird.lua file into an existing project and
place the following line at the top of your love.update() function:
require("lovebird").update()
The console can then be accessed by opening the following URL in a web browser:
http://localhost:8000
If you want to access lovebird from another computer on the same network then
localhost should be replaced with the IP address of the computer which LÖVE
is running on.
Additional Functionality
To make use of additional functionality, the module can be assigned to a variable when it is required:
lovebird = require "lovebird"
Any configuration variables should be set before lovebird.update() is called.
lovebird.port
The port which lovebird listens for connections on. By default this is 8000
lovebird.whitelist
A table of hosts which lovebird will accept connections from. Any connection
made from a host which is not on the whitelist is logged and closed
immediately. If lovebird.whitelist is set to nil then all connections are
accepted. The default is { "127.0.0.1", "192.168.*.*" }.
lovebird.wrapprint
Whether lovebird should wrap the print() function or not. If this is true
then all the calls to print will also be output to lovebird's console. This is
true by default.
lovebird.maxlines
The maximum number of lines lovebird should store in its console's output
buffer. By default this is 200.
lovebird.updateinterval
The interval in seconds that the page's information is updated; this is 0.5
by default.
lovebird.allowhtml
Whether prints should allow HTML. If this is true then any HTML which is
printed will be rendered as HTML; if it false then all HTML is rendered as
text. This is false by default.
lovebird.print(...)
Prints its arguments to lovebird's console. If lovebird.wrapprint is set to
true this function is automatically called when print() is called.
lovebird.clear()
Clears the contents of the console, returning it to an empty state.
