How to use compiled lua file in OpenResty

jaydipdave

Hi Guys,

If I want to distribute OpenResty to customers and I also have to give the source code of webservices i.e. .Lua file.

Is there a way to hide the source code of my .Lua files? May be by using some kind of compiled version of .Lua file ?

Please help.

Thanks,

Jaydeep

Yeah sure. You can generate (stripped) bytecode files from .lua files:
