Is it possible to run lua?

[joshpetit]

Hey! Thanks a lot for this plugin it's really awesome.

I was wondering if it's possible to evaluate lua in the snippet files? I see the example with the strftime function call, but would it be possible to do something like lua print('')? If so what would the syntax look like for something like that?

Thank you!

Hi, I'm glad you liked the plugin!

In the current version, you can evaluate Lua by starting the eval block with !lua:

snippet luatime
  Current time is: `!lua os.date("%T")`

Older answer (still possible):

It is possible to evaluate Lua code by using the luaeval function. For example:

snippet luatime
  Current time is: `luaeval('os.date("%T")')`
