|

<p>The MoonScript installation comes with a small kernel of functions that can be
|
||
used to perform various common things.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The entire library is currently contained in a single object. We can bring this
|
||
<code>moon</code> object into scope by requiring <code>"moon"</code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre><code id="moon-1" class="moon-code"><span class="l_builtins">require</span> <span class="l_string">"moon"</span>
|
||
<span class="l_comment">-- `moon.p` is the debug printer
|
||
</span><span class="l_atom">moon</span><span class="l_bold_symbol">.</span><span class="l_atom">p</span> <span class="l_fn_symbol">{</span> <span class="l_table_key">hello</span><span class="l_bold_symbol">:</span> <span class="l_string">"world"</span> <span class="l_fn_symbol">}</span></code>
|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>If you prefer to just inject all of the functions into the current scope, you
|
||
can require <code>"moon.all"</code> instead. The following has the same effect as above:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre><code id="moon-2" class="moon-code"><span class="l_builtins">require</span> <span class="l_string">"moon.all"</span>
|
||

|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>All of the functions are compatible with Lua in addition to MoonScript, but
|
||
some of them only make sense in the context of MoonScript.</p>
|
||
|
||
</div><h1><a name="moonscript_standard_library"></a>MoonScript Standard Library</h1><div class="main">
|
||
|
||
<p>This is an overview of all the included functions.
|
||
All of the examples assume that the standard library has been included with
|
||
<code>require "moon.all"</code>.</p>

<h2><a name="printing_functions"></a>Printing Functions</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3><a name="parg"></a><code>p(arg)</code></h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Prints a formatted version of an object. Excellent for inspecting the contents
|
||
of a table.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="table_functions"></a>Table Functions</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3><a name="run_with_scopefn_scope_args"></a><code>run_with_scope(fn, scope, [args...])</code></h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Mutates the environment of function <code>fn</code> and runs the function with any extra
|
||
arguments in <code>args...</code>. Returns the result of the function.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The environment of the function is set to a new table whose metatable will use
|
||
<code>scope</code> to look up values. <code>scope</code> must be a table. If <code>scope</code> does not have an
|
||
entry for a value, it will fall back on the original environment.</p>

</pre>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Note that any closure values will always take precedence against global name
|
||
lookups in the environment. In the example above, the <code>say_hi</code> in the
|
||
environment has been shadowed by the local variable <code>say_hi</code>.</p>
|

|

<h3><a name="defaultbltbl_fn"></a><code>defaultbl([tbl,] fn)</code></h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Sets the <code>__index</code> of table <code>tbl</code> to use the function <code>fn</code> to generate table
|
||
values when a missing key is looked up.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3><a name="extendarg1_arg2_rest"></a><code>extend(arg1, arg2, [rest...])</code></h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Chains together a series of tables by their metatable’s <code>__index</code> property.
|
||
Overwrites the metatable of all objects exept for the last with a new table
|
||
whose <code>__index</code> is set to the next table.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Returns the first argument.</p>

<h3><a name="bind_methodsobj"></a><code>bind_methods(obj)</code></h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Takes an instance of an object, returns a proxy to the object whose methods can
|
||
be called without providing self as the first argument.</p>
|
||
|

<p>Copies the methods of a class <code>cls</code> into the table <code>obj</code>, then calls the

constructor of the class with the <code>obj</code> as the receiver.</p>
|

<p>In this example we add the functionality of <code>First</code> to an instance of <code>Second</code>

<p>Calls function <code>fn</code> repeatedly with the accumulated value and the current value
