Web development with Lua Programming Language
Introducing Sailor, an MVC web framework in Lua

Better Reasons
• It looks cool (I heard you could make games with it)
• It’s made in my home country (In my university to be more precise)

• It’s easy to learn

“ I have myself developed Web sites with pure C++, Java, C#, PHP, and Python. The easiest way to go was definitely Python. If the libraries existed, Lua would be not quite as easy to use as Python, but probably quite a bit more efficient; I think it would become my first choice... if the libraries existed.” Michael Gogins
“ Recently there was some discussion about mod_lua on the Apache developers mailing list. I mentioned there that I feel Lua could replace PHP as the number one web scripting language if mod_lua were stable (i.e. not still in beta) and it were implemented well (not making some of PHP's mistakes such as putting everything in the global scope with no consistent naming or parameter schemes). I've wanted to use Lua for all the things I currently use PHP for ever since I discovered it.” Rena

Servers
• Apache: mod_lua
• Nginx: OpenResty
• Xavante
• Others: Lighttpd, Lwan, Pegasus, Mongoose
@etiene_dcode.talks 2015
Frameworks
Orbit (2007) Least known No significant updates since 2010 MVC
Luvit (2011) Most popular Intense development node.js port 2-4x faster Needs a better documentation
@etiene_dcode.talks 2015
Frameworks
Lapis (2012) Intense development Moonscript and Lua Very well documented Templater OpenResty only Not MVC

Others Complicated, abandoned, poorly documented, license issues or I never heard about it...

What exactly is Sailor?
• It’s an MVC web framework • Completely written in Lua • Compatible with Apache (mod_lua), Nginx (OpenResty),
Xavante, Mongoose, Lighttpd and Lwan • Compatible with Linux, Windows and Mac • Compatible with different databases • MIT License • Pre alpha v0.4 (Chibi) • 0.5 (Pluto) will be released soon!
@etiene_dcode.talks 2015
What (else) is cool about Sailor?
• Routing and friendly URLs • Session, cookies, include, redirect… • Lua Pages parsing • Mail sending • Simple Object Relational-Mapping • Validation (valua) • Basic login and authentication modules • Form generation • Themes (Bootstrap integration out of the box) • App generator (Linux and Mac only) • Model and CRUD generator • Automated tests

@etiene_dcode.talks 2015
Not so great things
• It’s still in early development • Things are changing fast • It lacks features • Documentation

Lua filesStuff!
JS libraries, images…Temp files Lua Pages
@etiene_dcode.talks 2015
Example!
-- /controllers/site.lua local site = {} function site.index(page) local msg = “Hello World” page:render(‘index’, { msg = msg } ) end function site.notindex(page) page.theme = nil page:write(“I’m different!”) end return site
@etiene_dcode.talks 2015
<!-- /views/site/index.lp —> <p> A message from the server: <?lua page:print(msg) ?> <br/> The message again: <%= msg %> <!-- syntactic sugar: same thing as above —></p>
Example!
@etiene_dcode.talks 2015
<?lua@server -- Code here runs on the server ?> <?lua -- Same as above ?> <?lua@client -- Runs at the client ?> <?lua@both -- Runs at the server and the client ?> <?lua@both another_msg = “Another message” ?> <?lua page:print(another_msg) ?> <?lua@client js.window.alert(another_msg) -- Sailor v0.4 -- window:alert(another_msg) -- ^ Sailor v0.5 ?>
Example!
