Lua implementation of Casbin #1

Closed kolotaev closed 3 years ago

kolotaev commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a Lua implementation of Casbin in the wild at all? I didn't manage to find any except this one. And if this repo is a placeholder for the future work, when is it planned to be implemented?

Thank you.

See: https://github.com/casbin/casbin/issues/274#issuecomment-695148008

We will consider to make a new Lua implementation these months: https://github.com/casbin/casbin-lua Maybe let a GSoC student work on it next summer.

Thanks for the info!

Another thing that came to my mind is the implementation of Casbin in C (which is already done by the time I'm writing it). Thus it can be relatively easy used from Lua c-bindings. The upside of this approach is a shared/whatever library that can be used by other (especially interpreted) languages that are not already implemented or a as an option to boost performance - it's rather a common approach (see for instance gRPC core implementation).

Yeah, using C to wrap a Lua lib is an option. But Lua & nginx & OpenResty are so important that we may also consider implementing Casbin directly in Lua. This will be our next goal!

Actually we want it to be a GSoC 2021 task definitely.

@divy9881 do you have interest in the task of implementing Casbin in Lua?
