Lua Executor

lua executor

The Lua executor allows you to embed and execute Lua code blocks directly in your notes. It provides a safe execution environment with restricted access to Lua functions.

Usage​

Add Lua code blocks to your notes using the following syntax:

print("Hello, World!")

When the note is processed, the code will be executed and the output will be added below:

print("Hello, World!")

Output: Hello, World!

Example​

Basic Calculations​

local sum = 5 + 10
print("Sum:", sum)

Output: Sum: 15

Functions and Complex Logic​

local function factorial(n)
    if n == 0 then return 1 end
    return n * factorial(n-1)
end

print("Factorial of 5:", factorial(5))

Output: Factorial of 5: 120

How it works​

The lua executor scans notes for Lua code blocks and executes them using Lua. The output is captured and added to the note below the code block. Blocks have to be enclosed in triple backticks with the language set to lua.

It adds following metadata

---
lua_blocks_executed: 'true'
last_executed: '2024-12-03 15:56:48'
