Commented example code

New page

my_object = {}; --All lua modules on wiki must define a global variable
--that will hold their externally accessible functions.
--Such global variables can have whatever name you want
--and may also return various data as well as functions.

my_object.hello = function( frame ) --Add a function to "my_object".
--Such functions are callable via #invoke.
--"frame" contains data that Wikipedia
--will send this function when it runs.

return "Hello World!" --Do nothing but return "Hello World!"

end -- end of function "hello"

return my_object --All modules end by returning the global variable to Wikipedia.

-- Now we can use this module by calling {{#invoke: Sandbox/sameboat | hello }}.
-- Note that the first part of the invoke is the name of the Module's wikipage,
-- and the second part is the name of one of the functions attached to the
-- global variable that you returned.

-- The "print" function is not allowed in Wikipedia. All output is accomplished
-- via strings "returned" to Wikipedia.
