3450 | 197 3. List userdata *lua-list* |
198 | |
199 List userdata represent vim lists, and the interface tries to follow closely | |
200 Vim's syntax for lists. Since lists are objects, changes in list references in | |
201 Lua are reflected in Vim and vice-versa. A list "l" has the following | |
202 properties and methods: | |
203 | |
204 Properties | |
205 ---------- | |
206 o "#l" is the number of items in list "l", equivalent to "len(l)" | |
207 in Vim. | |
208 o "l[k]" returns the k-th item in "l"; "l" is zero-indexed, as in Vim. | |
209 To modify the k-th item, simply do "l[k] = newitem"; in | |
210 particular, "l[k] = nil" removes the k-th item from "l". | |
211 o "l()" returns an iterator for "l". | |
212 | |
213 Methods | |
214 ------- | |
215 o "l:add(item)" appends "item" to the end of "l". | |
216 o "l:insert(item[, pos])" inserts "item" at (optional) | |
217 position "pos" in the list. The default value for "pos" is 0. | |
218 | |
219 Examples: | |
220 > | |
221 :let l = [1, 'item'] | |
222 :lua l = vim.eval('l') -- same 'l' | |
223 :lua l:add(vim.list()) | |
224 :lua l[0] = math.pi | |
225 :echo l[0] " 3.141593 | |
226 :lua l[0] = nil -- remove first item | |
227 :lua l:insert(true, 1) | |
228 :lua print(l, #l, l[0], l[1], l[-1]) | |
229 :lua for item in l() do print(item) end | |
230 < | |
231 | |
232 ============================================================================== | |
233 4. Dict userdata *lua-dict* | |
234 | |
235 Similarly to list userdata, dict userdata represent vim dictionaries; since | |
236 dictionaries are also objects, references are kept between Lua and Vim. A dict | |
237 "d" has the following properties: | |
238 | |
239 Properties | |
240 ---------- | |
241 o "#d" is the number of items in dict "d", equivalent to "len(d)" | |
242 in Vim. | |
243 o "d.key" or "d['key']" returns the value at entry "key" in "d". | |
244 To modify the entry at this key, simply do "d.key = newvalue"; in | |
245 particular, "d.key = nil" removes the entry from "d". | |
246 o "d()" returns an iterator for "d" and is equivalent to "items(d)" in | |
247 Vim. | |
248 | |
249 Examples: | |
250 > | |
251 :let d = {'n':10} | |
252 :lua d = vim.eval('d') -- same 'd' | |
253 :lua print(d, d.n, #d) | |
254 :let d.self = d | |
255 :lua for k, v in d() do print(d, k, v) end | |
256 :lua d.x = math.pi | |
257 :lua d.self = nil -- remove entry | |
258 :echo d | |
259 < | |
260 | |
261 ============================================================================== | |
4911 | 262 5. Funcref userdata *lua-funcref* |
263 | |
264 Funcref userdata represent funcref variables in Vim. Funcrefs that were | |
265 defined with a "dict" attribute need to be obtained as a dictionary key | |
266 in order to have "self" properly assigned to the dictionary (see examples | |
267 below.) A funcref "f" has the following properties: | |
268 | |
269 Properties | |
270 ---------- | |
271 o "#f" is the name of the function referenced by "f" | |
272 o "f(...)" calls the function referenced by "f" (with arguments) | |
273 | |
274 Examples: | |
275 > | |
276 :function I(x) | |
277 : return a:x | |
278 : endfunction | |
279 :let R = function('I') | |
280 :lua i1 = vim.funcref('I') | |
281 :lua i2 = vim.eval('R') | |
282 :lua print(#i1, #i2) -- both 'I' | |
283 :lua print(i1, i2, #i2(i1) == #i1(i2)) | |
284 :function Mylen() dict | |
285 : return len(self.data) | |
286 : endfunction | |
287 :let mydict = {'data': [0, 1, 2, 3]} | |
288 :lua d = vim.eval('mydict'); d.len = vim.funcref('Mylen') | |
289 :echo mydict.len() | |
290 :lua l = d.len -- assign d as 'self' | |
291 :lua print(l()) | |
292 < | |

4911 | 379 8. The luaeval function *lua-luaeval* *lua-eval* |
3450 | 380 |
381 The (dual) equivalent of "vim.eval" for passing Lua values to Vim is | |
382 "luaeval". "luaeval" takes an expression string and an optional argument and | |
383 returns the result of the expression. It is semantically equivalent in Lua to: | |
384 > | |
385 local chunkheader = "local _A = select(1, ...) return " | |
386 function luaeval (expstr, arg) | |
387 local chunk = assert(loadstring(chunkheader .. expstr, "luaeval")) | |
388 return chunk(arg) -- return typval | |
389 end | |
390 < | |
4911 | 391 Note that "_A" receives the argument to "luaeval". Lua numbers, strings, and |
392 list, dict, and funcref userdata are converted to their Vim respective types, | |
393 while Lua booleans are converted to numbers. An error is thrown if conversion | |
394 of any of the remaining Lua types, including userdata other than lists, dicts, | |
395 and funcrefs, is attempted. | |
396 | |
397 Examples: > | |
3450 | 398 |
399 :echo luaeval('math.pi') | |
400 :lua a = vim.list():add('newlist') | |
401 :let a = luaeval('a') | |
402 :echo a[0] " 'newlist' | |
403 :function Rand(x,y) " random uniform between x and y | |
404 : return luaeval('(_A.y-_A.x)*math.random()+_A.x', {'x':a:x,'y':a:y}) | |
405 : endfunction | |
406 :echo Rand(1,10) | |
