Library class abstract

Abstract base class for organizing standard library functions.

Extend this class to register a reusable namespaced or global library with a LuaRuntime. LuaLike's built-in string, table, math, and debug libraries all implement this interface.

A library with a non-empty name is installed as a table and can be loaded lazily through LibraryRegistry. A library with an empty name injects its functions directly into the global environment, which is how the base library is modeled.
