Re: lua modules and OO

[Lucas Hermann Negri <kkndrox@...>]

I use this style:

local MyClass = {}
local MyCalssMT = {__index = MyClass}

function MyClass.new()
    local self = {} -- or call the base class constructor
    setmetatable(self, MyClassMT)

    return self
end

...
other methods
...

return MyClass

This way I don't pollute' the names:

local MyClass = require("MyClass")
local obj = MyClass.new()
....
