Lua API#

This section is a reference guide for the Lua scripting interface in IOLITE.

Note

The Lua API in IOLITE is provided via a native C++ plugin and is freely available in our GitHub repository. Have a look at the plugin to inspect the underlying implementation of the exposed functions or to customize/extend the implementation.

IOLITE Lua API header file#

The IOLITE Lua API header file can be used to add auto-completion to the code editor of your choice. This has been tested in Visual Studio Code using the latest version of the Lua extension.

Click the following link to download the latest version of the header file and drop it somewhere close to your scripts:
