Examples

This is how some example calls to the extension could look like in a Scribunto module

local p = {} -- p stands for package

function p.get(frame)
	local data = mw.ext.VariablesLua.var('variablename')
	-- data now holds the value of the variable "variablename"
	return data
end

function p.set(frame)
	mw.ext.VariablesLua.vardefine('variablename', 'variablevalue')
	-- The variable "variablename" now holds the value "variablevalue"
end

function p.setecho(frame)
	local data = mw.ext.VariablesLua.vardefineecho('variablename', 'variablevalue')
	-- The variable "variablename" now holds the value "variablevalue"
	-- data now has the value "variablevalue"
	return data
end

return p
