Lua mongoose bindings for rapid develpment

[TheRootED24]

I am nearing completion of the lua bindings for the entire mongoose api. I have replicated most of the examples from the documentation and tutorials in lua . One of the main goals for this library is to represent the actual c code as closely as possible, to allow easy translation from lua to an actual C program. I am quite happy with the results so far, i feel it feels very close to the actual C api.

for example, compare the example from the respective github repos

Mongoose C

  #include "mongoose.h"   // To build, run: cc main.c mongoose.c

// HTTP server event handler function
void ev_handler(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data) {
  if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) {
    struct mg_http_message *hm = (struct mg_http_message *) ev_data;
    struct mg_http_serve_opts opts = { .root_dir = "./web_root/" };
    mg_http_serve_dir(c, hm, &opts);
  }
}

int main(void) {
  struct mg_mgr mgr;  // Declare event manager
  mg_mgr_init(&mgr);  // Initialize event manager
  mg_http_listen(&mgr, "http://0.0.0.0:8000", ev_handler, NULL);  // Setup listener
  for (;;) {          // Run an infinite event loop
    mg_mgr_poll(&mgr, 1000);
  }
  return 0;
}

Lua script

local mg = require "mg_lua"   -- include the mg_lua library 

local web_root = ".";
-- HTTP server event handler function
function ev_handler(c, ev, ev_data) 
  if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) then
    local hm = mg.http.message.new(ev_data);
    local opts = mg.http.serve_opts.new(web_root);
    mg.http.serve_dir(c, hm, opts);
  end
end

local function main(...) 
  local run = true
  local mgr = mg.mgr.new();  -- Declare event manager
  mg.mgr.init(mgr);  -- Initialise event manager
  mg.http.listen(mgr, "http://0.0.0.0:8000", "ev_handler");  -- Setup listener
  while(run) do         -- Run an infinite event loop
    mg.mgr.poll(mgr, 1000);
  end
  return 0;
end

I have tested 80-90% of the api and as mentioned, replicated most of the tutorials found on the documentation page and in from the github tutorials.

the project can be found on github --> https://github.com/TheRootED24/mg_lua

all criticisms all welcome. Cheers
