|> Lua.set_table([:b], 7)
|> Lua.set_table([:mul], fn st, [a, b] -> {st, [a * b]} end)
|> Lua.eval!("return {a = a, b = b, c = mul(a, b)}")

Installation
Add exlua to your list of dependencies in your project's mix.exs file:
defp deps do
[{:exlua, "~> 0.2.0"},
{:luerl, github: "bendiken/luerl", branch: "exlua",
compile: "make && cp src/luerl.app.src ebin/luerl.app"}]
endAlternatively, to pull in the dependency directly from a Git tag:
defp deps do
[{:exlua, github: "bendiken/exlua", tag: "0.2.0"},
{:luerl, github: "bendiken/luerl", branch: "exlua",
compile: "make && cp src/luerl.app.src ebin/luerl.app"}]
endAlternatively, to pull in the dependency directly from a Git branch:
defp deps do
[{:exlua, github: "bendiken/exlua", branch: "master"},
{:luerl, github: "bendiken/luerl", branch: "exlua",
compile: "make && cp src/luerl.app.src ebin/luerl.app"}]
end
