I have my db.connect{} outside of main() for performance reasons but a new requirement states the db parameters must be held in an external file. It’s trivial to do this if the connect is done inside main, but how can I get the parameters into the filter if connect{} is outside main? Thank you in advance.
Just a matter of writing a function and calling it in the body of the main lua module for the translator instance.
In reality when you write:
local DB = db.connect{...}
It’s actually doing a function call to that function.
Sometimes for debugging if I can be bothered I will write a function which uses a boolean variable outside of main like this:
local Initialized = false function Init() if not Initialized then -- Do initialization Initialized = true; end end function main(Data) Init(); end
The nice thing about this is that you get annotations and intellisense so it makes it easier to write the code.
