Lowerclass

A simple OOP library for Lua. It has inheritance and metamethods (operators). It uses the same API as Middleclass (with some small differences) but tries to be small and fast.

Note: For an even smaller class library take a look at this Gist

Documentation

As said before, this library shares the same API as Middleclass, with some differences.

This means that you can take a look at the Middleclass wiki for examples & documentation.

While taking into account the next few differences:

• static methods are not supported.
• __index metamethod is not supported, changing it may create errors.
• allocate is not part of the class, instead a private function is used.
• Mixins are not supported so include is not supported.
• Child.subclasses are currently commented out to keep the simplicity, they could easily be added.
• Metamethods are not inherited (Issue #1)

Installation

Just copy the lowerclass.lua file wherever you want it (for example on a lib/ folder). Then write this in any Lua file where you want to use it:

local class = require 'lowerclass'
