Entrypoint templating wrapper for Scribunto packages. The module generates an entrypoint function that can execute Scribunto package calls in the template context. This allows a package to support both direct and template invocations.

Documentation

Package function

entrypoint(package) (function)

Entrypoint templating wrapper for Scribunto packages.

Parameter: package Scribunto package. (table)

'you must specify a function to call' (string; line 85)

'the function you specified did not exist' (string; line 91)

'$2 is not a function' (string; line 95; optional)

Returns: Template entrypoint - main. (function)

Other items

main(frame) (function): Template entrypoint function generated by this module.; Parameter: frame Scribunto frame in module context. (Frame); Returns: Module output in template context. (string)

Notes

Parent frames are not available in Entrypoint's frame. This is because recursive (grandparent) frame access is impossible in legacy Scribunto due to empty-argument expansion cache limitations.
As Entrypoint enables template access rather than a new extension hook, it does not work with named numeric parameters such as 1= or 2=. This may result in unexpected behaviour such as Entrypoint and module errors.
