# Building
## Luapreproc
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Adorable-Catgirl/LuaComp.git
cd LuaComp
luapreproc src/init.lua /tmp/luacomp.part
echo "#!/usr/bin/env lua5.3" | cat - /tmp/luacomp.part > ~/bin/luacomp
chmod +x ~/bin/luacomp
```
## LuaComp
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Adorable-Catgirl/LuaComp.git
cd LuaComp
luacomp -xlua5.3 -mluamin -O ~/bin/luacomp src/init.lua
chmod +x ~/bin/luacomp
```
## By hand
Ha, no.
# Usage
`luacomp -h` outputs:
```
Usage: /tmp/luacomp [-h] [-O <output>] [-m <minifier>]
[--generator-code] [--verbose] [--post-processors]
[--directives] [-v] <input> [-x [<executable>]]
LuaComp v1.2.0
A preprocessor+postprocessor written in Lua.
Arguments:
input Input file (- for STDIN)
Options:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit.
-O <output>, Output file. (- for STDOUT) (default: -)
--output <output>
-m <minifier>,
--minifier <minifier>
Sets the minifier (default: none)
-x [<executable>],
--executable [<executable>]
Makes the script an executable (default: current lua version)
--generator-code Outputs only the code from the generator.
--verbose Verbose output. (Debugging)
--post-processors Lists postprocessors
--directives Lists directives
-v, --version Prints the version and exits
```
# Directives
LuaComp currently ships with four built-in directives. More directives can be installed at `/usr/share/luacomp/directives` and `~/.local/share/luacomp/directives`.
## include
Usage: `--#include "path"`
Include tells the preprocessor to include the file specified. The file included will also be preprocessed.
## define
Usage `--#define "var" "value"`
Defines the env var for this session.
## error
Usage `--#error "text"`
Throws an error and stops the preprocessor.
## loadmod
**Note**: Depreciated, use the directive dirs.
Usage `--#loadmod "lua_file.lua"`
Loads a directive module. Don't use this. I just don't want to have to bump the major version number.
# Postprocessors
LuaComp currently ships with built-in support for three postprocessors. More can be installed at `/usr/share/luacomp/postproc` and `~/.local/share/luacomp/postproc`
## luamin
Language: Lua 5.1 to 5.3
Minifies Lua.
## uglify
Language: JavaScript
Minifies JS. Options are `--compress --mangle`.
## bython(2)
Language: Bython (Python 3.x and 2.x)
Turns Bython into Python.
# Syntax
The syntax was made for Lua, but it works well enough for some other languages.
## Directives
Syntax: `--#directive "arguments"`
## Lua code
Syntax: `@[[ code ]]`
Note that this can be used for macros.
See examples/macro.lua.
## Lua variable
Syntax: `@[{ variable }]`
Puts the value of the variable in the code
## Quoted shell variables
Syntax: `$(var)`
Puts the value of the variable in the code, quoted.
## Unquoted shell variables
Syntax: `$[{var}]`
Puts the value of the variable in the code, not quoted.
## Shell output
Syntax: `$[[code]]`
Puts the stdout of the script in the code. Note that you can't set variables from the shell script.
# Debugging
## Generator code
To output the code the generator executes, add the `--generator-code` flag.
## Debug messages
To output debug messages, add the `--verbose` flag.
