[v1.2] wOOP (Docs)

--[[
Put briefly, wOOP is an OO library that uses userdata and some metatable magic to allow support for a few important things-

"implied" self
"pseudomethods"
private values
readonly values
constructors
finalizers
single-level inheritance
and lastly, a short, clean syntax.

It also follows the ClassCommons specifications - if you set common_class to true BEFORE requiring it. All tests have run been run on (and in fact passed) this library. This library is bug-free (as far as been tested (enough)) and is easy to use.

SYNTAX-
class function

class <classname> <extends>?
<data>

classname is a string for the class name.
extends is a string for which the class inherits from. (default base)
data is a table containing all the necessary data. (see class structure)

creating objects
All classes are global. Use <classname>(args) to create an object.

destroying objects
Remove an object from memory (goes through and deletes all local values equal to the object)

CLASS STRUCTURE-
There are some values in a class that are important. Use __settings (or what you've set it to) and you may include the following values-

new(...)
Function that gets called when creating an object. Returns a table that has values in it that is used for the base of the object.

mt
Table used as metatable for the object. __gc is supported if using userdata.

CONFIG TABLE USAGE-
imply_self (bool) [true] Change functions to pseudomethods (see pseudomethods).
self_name (string) ["self"] If using imply_self, what the name of the value is.
using_userdata (bool) [true] Use userdata as a proxy to the object. (__len and __gc)
strict_error (bool) [true] Objects cannot be modified to have new values or change private values, attempting either will error.
private_value (bool) [true] Use private values.
private_value_index (string) ["__"] What separates private values from normal values. Include at start of table index.
readonly_value(_index) See private_value(_index). Defaults are [true] and ["_"], respectively.
class_config_location (string) ["__setings"] Where the class config is located. Set to "class" for directly in the class itself. (see class structure)
class_config_setup (table) [{new="new",mt="mt"}]  Defines the name of the "new" and "mt" functions inside the class config. (see class structure)

USAGE-
    PSEUDOMETHODS-
        A pseudomethod is a function that has it's environment changed to include a "self" value - so you don't have to. Changes functions to use a "." instead of a ":".

EXAMPLE-]]

class "example"
{
    asdf=0;
    qwer=10;
    add=
    function()
        return self.asdf+self.qwer
    end
}

class "example2" "example"
{
    sub=
    function()
        return self.asdf-self.qwer
    end
}

local e2=example2()
e2.asdf=15
print(e2.add())
print(e2.sub())
