How to add https to love.js

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

It seems like something that would be easy to do but I have trouble doing. I'm using Makelove to make the project, and luahttps as a native file won't work with web, but I believe is should be able to somehow allow Lua to make https calls.

I think the support is going to be included in v12.

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

Yes, I know. And I've also successfully built versions without needing 12. I was asking AI and it said that I had to expose a module variable that can call the API in a script tag of the html file, to Lua.

like it how isn't there a way to expose javascript functions or variables to the global namespace lua for love.js somehow?

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

I'm away from my coding environment right now, but here's how AI said I could go about it:

Code: Select all

// Exposing a JavaScript function to Lua
lovejs.bindGlobal("myJsFunction", function() {
    console.log("This is a JavaScript function!");
    return "Hello from JavaScript!";
});

You need to use another library. The Love.js-Api-Player does what you need. It also has an example and tips for using it with Davidobot love.js fork, that makelove is using.
