*
* libLua provides functions for interacting with Lua modules from JavaScript.
*
*
* === USAGE ===
*
* The library should be loaded as a MediaWiki gadget, using mw.loader.load,
* mw.loader.using, or similar. The name of the gadget is
* "ext.gadget.libLua". Once the gadget is loaded, you can access its
* functions from mw.libs.lua.<function name>. Documentation for the
* functions can be found in the JSDoc comment blocks in the library code. For
* example:
*
* // Call p.main("foo", "bar") in [[Module:Example]]
* mw.loader.using( [ 'ext.gadget.libLua' ], function () {
* mw.libs.lua.call( {
* module: 'Example',
* func: 'main',
* args: [ 'foo', 'bar' ]
* } ).then( function ( result ) {
* // Do something with the result
* } );
* } );

/**
* Call a function in a Lua module. The function call is made
* asynchronously through the MediaWiki Action API, and its result is
* wrapped in a jQuery promise.
*
* @param {Object} options
*
* @param {string} options.module - The name of the module to load.
* (Don't use a "Module:" prefix.)
*
* @param {string} options.func - The name of the function to call.
* Only strings are accepted as function names.
*
* @param {*[]} [options.args] - An array of arguments to pass to the
* function. These must be serializable as JSON. The arguments will be
* unpacked when passed to the function; when calling a function "func",
* an args array of ["foo", "bar", "baz"] will be called as
* func("foo", "bar", "baz"). There are limitations in what can be
* decoded from JSON in Lua: for example, keys may be dropped from
* arrays containing null values. See
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#mw.text.jsonDecode
* for more details. For this reason, calls like func('foo', nil, 'bar')
* cannot be made directly. To work around this you can define an
* intermediary function in a Lua module that calls the desired function
* indirectly, and then call that function from this library instead.
*
* @param {('string'|'json')} [options.format=string] - The expected
* return format. If this is "string" or undefined, then the return value
* will be a string. (If the Lua function call returns a non-string value
* it will be converted to a string, and if the function call returns
* multiple values then they will be converted to strings and
* concatenated with tabs as separators.) If this is "json", then the
* return string from the function call is assumed to be JSON, and is
* converted to a JavaScript object using JSON.parse. If the return
* string is not valid JSON, the promise returned from the function is
* rejected, but no error is thrown.
*
* @param {mw.Api} [options.api] - An mw.Api object to use for API
* calls. If this is not specified, a new mw.Api object using default
* values is created.
*
* @return {$.Promise}
* A jQuery Promise that is resolved with the result of the function
* call.
*
@example
// Load the gadget
mw.loader.using( 'ext.gadget.libLua', function () {
// Call p.main( "foo", "bar", "baz" ) in Module:Example.

"module": "Example",
"func": "main",
"args": [ "foo", "bar", "baz" ]
} ).done( function( resultString ) {
doSomething( resultString );
