# Rhai - embedded scripting for Rust
|
||||
|
||||
Rhai is a simple embedded scripting language for Rust that doesn't use any additional dependencies, unsafe code, or a set of APIs outside of what you provide in your program. This allows you to have rich control over the functionality exposed to the scripting context.

Currently, it's pre-0.1, and is likely to change a bit before it stabilizes enough for a crates.io release.

# Example 2: Working with Rust
|
||||
Rhai's scripting engine is very lightweight. It gets its ability from the functions in your program. To call these functions, you need to register them with the scripting engine.
|
||||
|
||||
```Rust
|
||||
fn add(x: i32, y: i32) -> i32 {
|
||||
x + y
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
|
||||
&(add as fn(x: i32, y: i32)->i32).register(&mut engine, "add");
|
||||
|
||||
if let Ok(result) = engine.eval("add(40, 2)".to_string()).unwrap().downcast::<i32>() {
|
||||
println!("Answer: {}", *result); // prints 42
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Example 3: Working with generic functions
|
||||
|
||||
Generic functions can be used in Rhai, but you'll need to register separate instances for each concrete type:
|
||||
|
||||
```Rust
|
||||
fn showit<T: Display>(x: &mut T) -> () {
|
||||
println!("{}", x)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
let mut engine = Engine::new();
|
||||
|
||||
&(showit as fn(x: &mut i32)->()).register(&mut engine, "print");
|
||||
&(showit as fn(x: &mut bool)->()).register(&mut engine, "print");
|
||||
&(showit as fn(x: &mut String)->()).register(&mut engine, "print");
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Example 4: Working with custom types and methods
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an example of working with Rust. First, the full example, and then we'll break it down:
|
||||
|
||||
```Rust
|
||||
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
|
||||
struct TestStruct {
|
||||
@ -73,7 +113,7 @@ engine.register_type::<TestStruct>();
|
||||
|
||||
To use methods and functions with the engine, we need to register them. There are some convenience functions to help with this. Below I register update and new with the engine.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: the engine follows the convention that functions take ownership of all their parameters and methods take ownership of all but their first parameter (which is a &mut).
|
||||
*Note: the engine follows the convention that methods use a &mut first parameter so that invoking methods can update the value in memory.*
|
||||
|
||||
```Rust
|
||||
&(TestStruct::update as fn(&mut TestStruct)->()).register(&mut engine, "update");
