Teal does not seem to support `__index` #541

Closed makspll closed 2 years ago

makspll commented 2 years ago

Having a custom __index metamethod:

 metamethod __index: function(LuaVec<T>,integer):(ReflectedValue)

does not allow me to index my type with integers,

is this intended? It's very much annoying to work around

No, it's just not implemented! Patches are definitely welcome!

hishamhm commented 2 years ago

I just committed some initial support! For now, only functions as __index are handled and it only resolves __index when using t[x] (not with t.k or t:k). But it should address these "vector-like" use-cases already.

that's perfect, thank you!
