Lua is known -for it's speed and small size. Mongoose uses Lua version 5.2.3, the -documentation for it can be found at -[Lua 5.2 reference manual](http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/). - -To create a Lua Page, make a file that is called `ANY_NAME.lp`. For example, -`my_page.lp`. It is important to have a file -name that ends up with `.lp`, cause this is the way mongoose recognises -Lua Page file. The contents of the file, just like -with PHP, is HTML with embedded Lua code. Lua code must be enclosed within -`<? ?>` blocks, and can appear anywhere on the page. - -Mongoose does not send HTTP headers for Lua pages. Therefore, -every Lua Page must begin with HTTP status line and headers, like this: - - <? mg.write('HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n') ?> - <html><body> - <span>Today is:</span> <? mg.write(os.date("%A")) ?> - </body></html> - -Note that this example uses function `mg.write()`, which prints data to the -web page. Using function `mg.write()` is the way to generate web content from -inside Lua code. In addition to `mg.write()`, all standard library functions -are accessible from the Lua code (please check reference manual for details). -Information about the request is available via the `mg.request_info` object. -I contains request method, all headers, etcetera. Please refer to -`struct mg_request_info` definition in -[mongoose.h](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/mongoose.h) -to see what is available via the `mg.request_info` object. -Check out [prime_numbers.lp](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/examples/lua/prime_numbers.lp) for some example. - -Mongoose exports the following to the Lua Server Page: - - mg.write(str) -- writes string to the client - mg.onerror(msg) -- error handler, can be overridden - mg.request_info -- a table with request information - -Using Lua scripting it is easy to emulate SSI functionality. For example, -to include the content of another file, one can write: - - <? mg.write(io.open('MY_FILE.TXT'):read('*all')) ?> - -To serve a Lua Page, mongoose creates Lua context. That context is used for -all Lua blocks within the page. That means, all Lua blocks on the same page -share the same context. If one block defines a variable, for example, that -variable is visible in all following blocks.
