Re: How can I use orbiter/libs/jquery.lua of orbiter?

Let me add one more question. (two now ^^)

As I said, I am doing this (using Orbiter's html and jquery library in Orbit App) because I want to write a jquery embedded html and the jquery contains interaction with a lua function on server side.

This was easy with Orbiter because it has convenient jquery lua library. But with Orbit, I don't know how. Especially with htmlification method doesn't seemed to be easy to mix jquery in html.

Orbit Page looked proper to do my task.

#1. Is there any known method to embed jquery in html using and without using orbit pages in orbit apps (other than my approach above)?

#2. Is there any good material which describes how to write orbit pages (Not the one in orbit homepage I've read it already)

Thank you very much

Hi Steve Donovan and people on lua mailing list,

I've got a question about using 'orbiter jquery library' in 'orbit app'.
I am now implementing a web site for embedded system now using of orbit.

From my orbit app, I import jquery library like below.

local jq = require 'orbiter.libs.jquery'

But this inclusion produces error messages on a browser screen like below. (I invoked my web-site using 'wsapi --op')

(lua install prefix)/share/lua/5.1/wsapi/ringer.lua:116: (lua install prefix)/share/lua/5.1/orbiter/bridge.lua:26: attempt to index upvalue 'app' (a nil value)

FYI, let me copy the content of 'bridge.lua' below.

1 -- Orbiter, a personal web application framework
2 -- orbiter.orbit acts as a bridge for registering static dispatches
3 -- that works with both Orbiter and Orbit
4
5 local _M = {}
6
7 local app
8
9 function _M.new(app_)
10 app = app_
11 end
12
13 function _M.dispatch_static(...)
14 -- remember to strip off the starting @
15 local path = debug.getinfo(2, "S").source:sub(2):gsub('\\','/')
16 if path:find '/' then
17 path = path:gsub('/[%w_]+%.lua$','')
18 else -- invoked just as script name
19 path = '.'
20 end
21 if orbit then
22 local function static_handler(web)
23 local fpath = path..web.path_info
24 return app:serve_static(web,fpath)
25 end
26 app:dispatch_get(static_handler,...) -------> This is the it.
27 return app
28 else
29 local obj = require 'orbiter'. new()
30 obj.root = path
31 obj:dispatch_static(...)
32 return obj
33 end
34 end
35
36 return _M

I placed orbiter under the place shown below.

(lua install prefix)/share/lua/5.1/orbiter

#1. Is using 'orbiter jquery library' in making 'orbit web site' impossible?
#2. If it is impossible, is there any other jquery lua library I can use in making orbit web site?

Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely
Journeyer Joh
