Re: Is there any convenient function like module(...) for returning a function from a module?

[Oliver Kroth <oliver.kroth@...>]

You may also return the standard module table, but add a metatable to it that has a __call field that holds a function.

This way you may return more than a function, but still can use the whole module like a function by calling it.

I did this some times,

Just something like this:

-- ftest.lua
return function(a)
  return {value = a}
end

then require 'ftest' will give you a function, which you can call.
