How to embed iPhone-Wax into app



I have just learnt about iPhone-Wax (thanks to SO). Now the documentation is rather sparse for what I am trying to do.





I want to embed it into an Objective-C app. I don't want it to be the main app. Has anyone done it and how can I achieve it?





I would like to use it in the same way LuaObjectiveCBridge is used.

  1. If I understand correctly, you want to create an ad-hoc Lua class?! It is as simple as this:

    you have a Lua script (script.lua):

    waxClass{"LuaClass"}
    function myMethod(self, object)
    object:doSomething()
    end


    and in your obj-c code:

    ...
    luaL_dofile(wax_currentLuaState(), "script.lua");
    MyClass *o = [[MyClass alloc] init];
    Class LuaClass = NSClassFromString(@"LuaClass");
    id luaObject = [[LuaClass alloc] init];
    [luaObject performSelector:@selector(myMethod:) withObject:o];
    ...

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
