Hello,
during last days I spent some time to extend the native API exported to
Lua. Many more functions exported by core and modules can be called from
embedded Lua scripts. Note that you get also access to psedo-variable
operations and you can call all functions exported by modules that have
no fixup pretty safe, via sr.modf(...), without a need to be exported
natively.
I made an easy-to-do tutorial where all the SIP routing logic is
implemented in a Lua script (including authentication, accounting,
registrar, user location). You can read it at:
http://asipto.com/u/h
Therefore, if the configuration file language is not offering everything
you need to route your SIP traffic, look at app_lua module and its API,
it is a real option right now. Lua is a small and fast embeddable
language, the interpreter is linked to and loaded by Kamailio at statup,
therefore the performance penalty is not significant (Lua project site
is: http://www.lua.org). It is also popular among other SIP telephony
projects.
Any kind of feedback is appreciated!
Cheers,
Daniel

I'd strongly would like that kamailio config file uses namespaced
functions as well, as it's an ellegant way to realize of which module
each function belongs to.
There are more and more modules and new functions, and it's becoming
rather difficult to understand a kamailio/SR script with so many
functions sharing the same/unique "namespace".
function_name => module.function_name
It's cool, it's easy, it's sexy :)
BTW the article showing the LUA usage is brilliant :)

This should not be that complex,
there is no function name that has '.'
in order to have current conflicts to solve. My concern is related to
modules with very long names, but seems that most of such cases do not
export lot of functions (e.g., presence_*).
Alternative is to introduce a short id for modules, eg,:
ps => presence
rp => rtpproxy
to be used only when module name is too long.
Btw, this option can speed up a bit the startup, as now resolving a
function in config means going through all modules and all functions in
a row. Knowing the module, then the search will be only within the list
of functions exported by that module. Just a side note, not big
influence over all, this being done at startup.

Hi Jeremya,
at least for older versions there is such an index, e.g.:

In the context of this thread, I understood the question was about the
functions exported to be available natively to Lua API. Anyhow, many of
the functions exported by the modules to kamailio config (the list in
the link you pointed) can be called safe from Lua via sr.modf(...).
Cheers,
Daniel

Both of them could be used. One short version for expert people and the long,
full format for newbies or in didactical examples.
I think this module.function syntax is a good idea.

On a second thought, just module name should be enough, because will
still be the current version for "experts", at least several releases
from now on.
Introducing short alias will just complicate things, adding confusion.
In the future we can review the concept and added if many people want it.
Also, we encourage people to find nice short names from beginning of
development :-) when only the module name can be used.
Cheers,
Daniel
