How to embed iPhone-Wax into app


I have just learnt about iPhone-Wax (thanks to SO). Now the documentation is rather sparse for what I am trying to do.



I want to embed it into an Objective-C app. I don't want it to be the main app. Has anyone done it and how can I achieve it?



I would like to use it in the same way LuaObjectiveCBridge is used.

  1. If I understand correctly, you want to create an ad-hoc Lua class?! It is as simple as this:

    you have a Lua script (script.lua):

    waxClass{"LuaClass"}
    function myMethod(self, object)
    object:doSomething()
    end


    and in your obj-c code:

    ...
    luaL_dofile(wax_currentLuaState(), "script.lua");
    MyClass *o = [[MyClass alloc] init];
    Class LuaClass = NSClassFromString(@"LuaClass");
    id luaObject = [[LuaClass alloc] init];
    [luaObject performSelector:@selector(myMethod:) withObject:o];
    ...
