Here is some code for an example plugin:
|
||||||
|
```go
|
||||||
|
package main
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
import (
|
||||||
|
rt "github.com/arnodel/golua/runtime"
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
func Loader(rtm *rt.Runtime) rt.Value {
|
||||||
|
return rt.StringValue("hello world!")
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This can be compiled with `go build -buildmode=plugin plugin.go`.
|
||||||
|
If you attempt to require and print the result (`print(require 'plugin')`), it will show "hello world!"
