Run the code as Lua instead of moonscript.

[josellausas]

When pressing the run button, it sends the ?lang=moonscript parameter. How can I configure the console to use ?lang=lua ?

did you mean to close this?

Yes, I'm not sure this is an issue. It is more a feature request. I decided to fork the lapis-console and attempt to fix it myself. I have changed the lang variable to lua, but my print don't work. Is there an easy way to use the console with lua code instead of moonscript?

[leafo]

Sure, the change should be really easy, just a couple lines. (Also features requests are okay for the issue tracker)

Looks like it's mostly set up, I just forgot to write the code.

You'll want to do a Lua loadstring similar to how there's a moonscript.loadstring:

@zunware did you manage to add the feature, can you merge it in/submit a PR? As a Lua newbie I want to use just plain Lua for now.

@lee-kagiso: I got it working with a hard-coded solution. I will work on a clean solution and submit it. I haven't submitted code before, so I will have to research that. I can share my hack to make it work with Lua if needed.

How're you going with this?

[josellausas]

@lee-kagiso @vadi2 I just pushed the missing code with the changes needed to run code in lua instead of moonscript.

###Note:

You still need to change and uncoment the line 36 inside console/assets/main_js.lua for it to work.

I am a javascript noob and couldn't get a checkbox working for toggling lua/moonscript. If someone can get that working that would be awesome.
