Moses And Allen, Lua Tools for Tables and Strings

[Roland_Yonaba]

Hi folks,

Just wanted to share with you these two utility libraries i've been working on the past days.

Moses is a utility library to manipulate tables in Lua.
Allen stands for the same purposes, but was designed for strings.

A full documentation and usage examples are given on their respective projects pages on Github.

Credits and thanks:
Those libraries were heavily inspired by Javascript Underscore.js (by Jeremy Ashkenas) and Underscore.string (by Edward Tsech and Esa-Matti Suuronen).
Credits to Underscore.lua (by Marcus Irven).
Also, thanks to Kikito who proposed the names Moses, and Allen...
Any feedback, comment or contribution would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Great job !

Just one thing. In this file : https://github.com/Yonaba/Allen/blob/ma ... _Tests.lua you are saying that '+' is commutative. But I don't think this is the case of your implementation, right?

Unless

Code: Select all

"hello " + "world" == "world" + "hello " == "hello world"

Which is not likely to happen.

Typo error. Thanks so much for pointing that out, i fixed it.
In the meanwhile, i am open to any new suggestions for new functions that one may find useful. Let's make this a contributive work!
Also, one may find some better/faster ways of implementing some of the functions provided. I'll be pleased to have their feedbacks
