# Peeking values from the stack

## Primitives

peekNil :: Peeker e () #

Succeeds if the value at the given index is `nil`.

peekNoneOrNil :: Peeker e () #

Succeeds if the given index is not valid or if the value at this index is `nil`.

peekBool :: Peeker e Bool #

Retrieves a `Bool` as a Lua boolean.

peekIntegral :: forall a e. (Integral a, Read a) => Peeker e a #

Retrieves an `Integral` value from the Lua stack.

peekRealFloat :: forall a e. (RealFloat a, Read a) => Peeker e a #

Retrieve a `RealFloat` (e.g., `Float` or `Double`) from the stack.

## Strings

peekByteString :: Peeker e ByteString #

Retrieves a `ByteString` as a raw string.

peekLazyByteString :: Peeker e ByteString #

Retrieves a lazy `ByteString` as a raw string.

peekString :: Peeker e String #

Retrieves a `String` from an UTF-8 encoded Lua string.

peekText :: Peeker e Text #

Retrieves a `Text` value as an UTF-8 encoded string.

peekStringy :: forall a e. IsString a => Peeker e a #

Retrieves a String-like value from an UTF-8 encoded Lua string.

This should not be used to peek `ByteString` values or other values for which construction via `fromString` can result in loss of information.

peekName :: Peeker e Name #

Retrieves a Lua string as `Name`.

## Readable types

peekRead :: forall a e. Read a => Peeker e a #

Retrieves a value by getting a String from Lua, then using `readMaybe` to convert the String into a Haskell value.

## Collections

peekKeyValuePairs :: LuaError e => Peeker e a -> Peeker e b -> Peeker e [(a, b)] #

Read a table into a list of pairs.

peekList :: forall a e. LuaError e => Peeker e a -> Peeker e [a] #

Reads a numerically indexed table `t` into a list, where the `length` of the list is equal to `rawlen(t)`. The operation will fail unless all numerical fields between `1` and `rawlen(t)` can be retrieved.

peekMap :: (LuaError e, Ord a) => Peeker e a -> Peeker e b -> Peeker e (Map a b) #

Retrieves a key-value Lua table as `Map`.

peekSet :: (LuaError e, Ord a) => Peeker e a -> Peeker e (Set a) #

Retrieves a `Set` from an idiomatic Lua representation. A set in Lua is idiomatically represented as a table with the elements as keys. Elements with falsy values are omitted.

## Combinators

choice :: LuaError e => [Peeker e a] -> Peeker e a #

Try all peekers and return the result of the first to succeed.

peekFieldRaw :: LuaError e => Peeker e a -> Name -> Peeker e a #

Get value at key from a table.

peekIndexRaw :: LuaError e => Integer -> Peeker e a -> Peeker e a #

Get value at integer index key from a table.

peekPair :: LuaError e => Peeker e a -> Peeker e b -> Peeker e (a, b) #

Retrieves a value pair from a table. Expects the values to be stored in a numerically indexed table; does not access metamethods.

peekTriple :: LuaError e => Peeker e a -> Peeker e b -> Peeker e c -> Peeker e (a, b, c) #

Retrieves a value triple from a table. Expects the values to be stored in a numerically indexed table, with no metamethods.

## Building peek functions

typeChecked #

Arguments

:: Name | expected type
-> (StackIndex -> LuaE e Bool) | pre-condition checker
-> Peeker e a |
-> Peeker e a |

Use `test` to check whether the value at stack index `n` has the correct type and use `peekfn` to convert it to a Haskell value if possible. A successfully received value is wrapped using the `Right` constructor, while a type mismatch results in `Left PeekError` with the given error message.

reportValueOnFailure #

Arguments

:: Name | expected type
-> (StackIndex -> LuaE e (Maybe a)) |
-> Peeker e a |

Report the expected and actual type of the value under the given index if conversion failed.

typeMismatchMessage #

Arguments

:: Name | expected type
-> StackIndex | index of offending value
-> Peek e ByteString |

Generate a type mismatch error.
