warning

Currently scripting is in its very early stage, just at a PoC state, hence it shouldn't be used at the moment.

More will be worked on scripting once the core modules have been worked on and the tool is on a more stable state.

Project Absence supports Lua files for scripting. Each Lua script must have the following code, so that it can be loaded and later executed once one of the events is emitted.

ExampleModule = {}

function ExampleModule:noise_level()
    return "None"
end

function ExampleModule:description()
    return "This example module/script will just print 'Hello from Lua!' when a 'Ready' event has been emitted."
end

function ExampleModule:subscribers()
    return { "Ready" }
end

function ExampleModule:execute()
    println("$[fg:blue]$[effect:bold]Hello from Lua!$[reset]")
    return true
end

return ExampleModule

The methods must be set and have a return value as per the example above.
