lua_library()

This is liable to change in the future.

A lua_library() rule is used to group together Lua sources to be packaged into a top-level lua_binary rule.

Arguments

• name (required) #

  The short name for this build target.

• srcs (defaults to []) #

  The set of .lua files included in this library.

• base_module (defaults to None) #

  The package for which the given specified sources and resources should reside in their final location in the top-level binary. If unset, the project relative directory that houses the BUCK file is used.

• deps (defaults to []) #

  Other lua_library() rules which list srcs from which this rule imports modules.

• visibility (defaults to []) #

  List of build target patterns that identify the build rules that can include this rule as a dependency, for example, by listing it in their deps or exported_deps attributes. For more information, see visibility.

• licenses (defaults to []) #

  Set of license files for this library. To get the list of license files for a given build rule and all of its dependencies, you can use buck query.

• labels (defaults to []) #

  Set of arbitrary strings which allow you to annotate a build rule with tags that can be searched for over an entire dependency tree using buck query attrfilter().

Examples

# A rule that includes a single .py file.
lua_library(
  name = 'fileutil',
  srcs = ['fileutil.lua'],
)

# A rule that uses glob() to include all sources in the directory which the
# rule is defined.  It also lists a resource file that gets packaged with
# the sources in this rule.
lua_library(
  name = 'testutil',
  srcs = glob(['testutil/**/*.lua'],
)
