plugger-ruby

Embed Ruby plugins directly into your Rust project!

Requires Rust nightly.

Purpose

The purpose of this library is to allow scripting in your Rust projects as easy as possible.

The library itself consists of two main parts - a Ruby VM and a syntax extension which creates Ruby wrappers over your structs and impls so they can be used directly from Ruby.

It should be possible to simply annotate a type with #[pluggable] and use it directly from Ruby.

The thing that separates the library from the others is that it allows you to share your Rust code with Ruby, as opposed to writing Ruby objects in Rust.

Features

• Creation of a Ruby VM and evaluating Ruby code
• Calling methods on Rust objects from Ruby
• Accessing public struct fields from Ruby
• Creating new Rust objects via Ruby
• Complicated types such as enums, tuples
• Automatic marshalling of Ruby arguments into Rust types
• Automatic marshalling of Rust return types into Ruby values
• Support for Python
