luamvc

A simple MVC framework written in Lua for Openresty

It is a full MVC framework with ORM.

Depends on : resty-template luasocket uuid

How to use: 1, I suggest that an independant dir in openresty home like scriptlua, clone it there.

an example directory:

      script/
                -- controller/
                    -- private/
                    -- public/
                -- lib/
                -- luamvc/         luamvc repo 
                -- svc/ 
      html/
                -- WEB-INF/        lua template files dir (private and protected)
                -- tpl/          public template dir, 
                -- css/
                -- js/
                -- *.html

Just clone luamvc into the scriptdir.

example nginx.conf

    location ~* \.lsp$  {
        client_max_body_size 500k;
        client_body_buffer_size 500k;
        content_by_lua '
            local dispatcher = require("luamvc.dispatcher"):new()
            dispatcher.dispatch()
        ';
    }

WEB-INF dir protected by example

    location ^~ /WEB-INF/ {
        deny all;
    }

lua script in WEB-INF cannot be accessed directly. It needs mapping. In LuaMVC, the mapping strategy is rather simple. Becuase LuaMVC is not designed for large and complex applications, we use "convention over configuration". The lua script is WEB-INF must be like controllname/actionName.lsp and it can only be accessed by controllerName/actionName.lsp. The request is processed by a function named "actionName" in script/controller/controllerName.lua.

This project is just for study, not production ready.
