Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org): ``` composer require koesie10/lua-serializer ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) There is a facade for both serialization and deserialization: ``` $result = \Vlaswinkel\Lua\Lua::serialize([ 'foo' => 'bar']); /** * Returns: * { * foo = "bar", * } */ $result = \Vlaswinkel\Lua\Lua::deserialize('{ foo = "bar" }') /** * Returns: * [ 'foo' => 'bar' ] */ ``` You can also use all the classes yourself: ``` $result = \Vlaswinkel\Lua\Serializer::encode([ 'foo' => 'bar' ]); // returns the same as above $parser = new \Vlaswinkel\Lua\Parser(new \Vlaswinkel\Lua\TokenStream(new \Vlaswinkel\Lua\InputStream('{ foo = "bar" }'))); $result = \Vlaswinkel\Lua\LuaToPhpConverter::convertToPhpValue($parser->parse()); // returns the same as above ``` ### Integration with JMS Serializer in Symfony2 [](#integration-with-jms-serializer-in-symfony2) This serializer can easily be included into Symfony2 with JMSSerializer, by adding the following lines to your `services.yml`: ``` services: app.lua.serialization_visitor: class: Vlaswinkel\Lua\JMS\LuaSerializationVisitor arguments: ["@jms_serializer.naming_strategy"] tags: - { name: jms_serializer.serialization_visitor, format: lua } app.lua.deserialization_visitor: class: Vlaswinkel\Lua\JMS\LuaDeserializationVisitor arguments: ["@jms_serializer.naming_strategy"] tags: - { name: jms_serializer.deserialization_visitor, format: lua } app.lua.array_handler: class: Vlaswinkel\Lua\JMS\LuaArrayCollectionHandler tags: - { name: jms_serializer.subscribing_handler } app.lua.date_handler: class: Vlaswinkel\Lua\JMS\LuaDateHandler tags: - { name: jms_serializer.subscribing_handler } app.lua_constraint_violation_handler: class: Vlaswinkel\Lua\JMS\LuaConstraintViolationHandler tags: - { name: jms_serializer.subscribing_handler } app.lua.form_handler: class: Vlaswinkel\Lua\JMS\LuaFormHandler arguments: ["@translator"] tags: - { name: jms_serializer.subscribing_handler } app.lua_php_collection_handler: class: Vlaswinkel\Lua\JMS\LuaPhpCollectionHandler tags: - { name: jms_serializer.subscribing_handler } ``` If you want Symfony to recognize Lua as a request/response format, also add the following to your `config.yml`: ``` framework: request: formats: lua: ['application/x-lua', 'application/lua'] ``` In this case I've added `application/x-lua` and `application/lua` as MIME-types, but as there's no standard for Lua content types, these can be whatever you like. You can now use the format `lua` for serialization: ``` public function indexAction() { return $this->get('serializer')->serialize([ 'foo' => 'bar' ], 'lua'); } ``` Running tests ------------- [](#running-tests) You can run automated unit tests using [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de) after installing dependencies: ``` vendor/bin/phpunit ``` License ------- [](#license) This library is licensed under the MIT license.
